This movie IS what Freddie would appreciate - a great performance!

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2018)

One of the critics I listened to opined that Freddie would not like this movie because it was too PG, not edgy enough. I strongly disagree. I think he would have liked this because Freddie was a performer and this movie delivered an excellent performance. Sure one could definitely raise questions around accuracy and some of the story threads are not quite as tight as could be expected from a perfectly delivered movie. However, all in all, the story is engaging enough, definitely moving and most importantly it is song development and performance that are emphasized. The Live Aid ending scene in particular was excellent.
