Both solid and lacking

Rating: 7/10 (8 November 2018)

"The film is a painting, not a photograph", said Brian May of Queen about the movie. If you're someone who doesn't really care for the historical accuracy and wants a fun film with banging music and great casting this will be great. I personally had a lovely time in that regard, but also found that it skirted around some grittier things I felt would make the film feel less formulaic. I had goosebumps in the theater for the musical performances (as they use original audio of the band), but will likely not seek this movie out again.
