I was transported...in the best way...extraordinary...

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2018)

...just got home and my husband and I are still happily reeling with the back draft of the experience. I feel strangely territorial about the group--saw them live in Atlanta in 77 (the News of the World tour) and they had already long been the soundtrack for the life I shared with my best friends at that time...
But I think they have more fans than just us. An educated guess...
Random critics can pick it apart all they want--doesn't change a thing for this girl who knows a good deal about their history and doesn't care one bit if some things got shifted around for the sake of a compressed 2 hour telling. I was so moved, and the love and respect he was truly afforded by his band mates (as it should have been) truly translated. Freddie Mercury was ultimately a very private man, and in keeping with his wishes that those closest to him abide by his request to keep his affliction with AIDS to themselves, I don't think he'd have wanted this movie to focus any more on his sexual preferences and lifestyle than it did. Their music will always be a gift in my life, and this movie did ALL that justice. WELL done, all. Seriously--and "Thank you"...;o]
