How I Miss You, Freddie! ðŸ˜¢

Rating: 9/10 (3 November 2018)

I remember sifting through my older sister's LP's and coming across that beautiful, curious cover of A Night at the Opera. The moment I placed the needle on Side A, my seven year old mind was blown away. That voice! Oh, that voice.
I have waited forever for this biopic, and the moment Rami Malek opened his mouth and Freddie's glorious voice filled my ears, I was that seven year old girl again, hugging my knees in front of my crappy, plastic record player, feeling the joy of the band's music.
Perhaps the screenplay takes some liberties and the dialogue is basic, but I challenge anyone to leave the theater at the end not feeling warm and happy (and a bit heartbroken) inside. I never got to see Queen perform live-except in front of my TV, riveted by Live Aid, but this film brought me back and put me right there in the crowd. What a treat! Freddie, you were so loved and always will be. ðŸ˜¢
