The best film of the year - Rami Malek deserves an Oscar!

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2018)

I was reluctant to watch this film, because I don't like Bio-pics and I didn't want my memories of the wonder that was Queen to be ruined - Far From It!
This film had me enjoying every single one of the 145 or so minutes of the production. I found myself with tears in my eyes and laughing out loud (genuinely, not the trite LOL). The casting was astounding, the performances (especially from the four actors representing the members of Queen) was superlative - It is proof positive that you do not need explosions and car chases to have a truly memorable movie experience. I want to see it again, and again and again.
The film brilliantly depicts the troubled life of Frederick (Farouk) Bulsara as he tried to understand who he really was, The time-line is not accurate, but so what! Show us any bio-pic where the time-line is entirely accurate. There are artistic liberties taken, but the overall result is truly astounding. I don't remember ever giving a film ten stars but I do it without hesitation.
