WOW!

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 2018)

This movie was SOOOOOO moving and phenomenal that I don't even have words. The critics that gave this a not so good or bad review got it TOTALLY WRONG and they need to go back to critic school. This movie was riveting and the casting so very perfect. My husband and I have not been able to think of anything else since. Rami Malek's performance was astounding and I already loved and respected him for his performance in Mr. Robot but my respect has risen to a whole new level. We saw Lucy Boynton in Sing Street (which is also, by the way, an incredible movie if you haven't seen it) at the Sundance Film Festival and have loved her ever since. The entire cast was superb. I always loved Queen and they were one of the greatest bands of all time and this movie brought them back to life for me and reignited my desire to listen to all their music again and again. It also made me so sad to think of the loss of such an incredibly talented and iconic musician.
I found the Live Aid concert footage on YouTube and watched it and the recreation of that event was no less than stupendous. I can't say enough great things about the honor of being able to see this movie and re-live the meteoric rise of one of the most talented bands ever. I'm usually great with words and vocabulary but this movie has left me literally speechless. Go see it. I go to a lot of movies and this truly is the best movie of 2018 so far. If Rami Malek is not considered for an Oscar for his performance, it will truly be a crime.
