Show Stopping Performance

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2019)

Malek rocks, he really does. This film, whilst not historically spot on, still reminded me how good Queen's songs were and took me back to Live Aid in 1985, where they really were the standout act (if only someone had stopped Tracy Chapman coming on stage it would have been a perfect day, I'll give you a Fast Car luv). That was Stevie Wonder's fault, but enough of that.
What was surprising was how decent many of Mercury's entourage were for much of his career, Mary's character in particular was touching.
A touching, inspiring film about a man who really was born for greatness.
