A magnificent portrayal of true artists

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2018)

I was never much of a Queen fan, and I only became acquainted with their music when Freddie died. However, my expectations for this film were high, especially after having seen Rami Malek's performance in "Mr. Robot" and after reading how the band had approved of him as the actor to play Freddie.
This film outdid my expectations -
I was either sitting on my seat, laughing or crying as the story progressed. The music was well selected and the story told in a way that succeeded in explaining why things turned out the way they did in a way that captivated the emotions.
I watched this film with my wife who told me afterwards that she has never sat through the closing credits for any movie.
This film transported us into Queen's and Freddie's reality with all their struggles, accomplishments, heartbreak and happiness. Bravo!!
