Beyond even my highest hopes and expectations.

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2018)

Wow. Just wow. I'll give it 10 out of 10, even with the niggles of chronological anachronisms in a couple of the songs. Far more than I could have hoped for, it was beautiful, moving and genius film-making. I'd give Oscar nods for Best Film, Best Director (Bryan Singer), Best Actor (Rami Malek as Freddie) and.... Joseph Mazello as John Deacon was uncanny. It was so spot on, it was hard to believe it wasn't actually John.
Freddie was my first idol. From hearing Seven Seas of Rhye as an impressionable 7 year old in 1973 I was hooked. All my pocket money and birthday money went to buying Queen albums. This film felt very personal to me, now, as a gay man living with HIV. Thank you to all involved in making this.
