We loved it. They rocked us.

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2018)

As old Queenies, who saw Queen with Freddie and vividly remember Liveaid, this was a joyous walk down memory lane. I loved the movie and sat mesmerised by the unfolding of the Queen journey. I knew the stories/facts well so not many surprises but it was wonderful to see it all unfold before my eyes. The casting was superb with Rami and Gwilym in particular putting in impressive performances. I was disappointed to read some of the harsh press reviews which suggested that the film wasn't sufficiently gritty and salacious. I felt it had the right balance with all the decadence and debauchery of Freddie's lifestyle being shown subtly. It was certainly dealt with just not in your face. The final Liveaid scene is a wonderful celebration of Queen and their music.
