Nice (albeit too simple) reminder of a musical legend

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2018)

Bohemian Rhapsody plays it safe. It's a typical biopic with some pretty cheesy moments/dialogues and one-dimensional characters. Given the legendary status of Queen - and especially Freddie - it's a shame, that the film doesn't take more risks.
On the other hand, the setting and direction is good, film is full of energy, casting is great, the music is divine and Rami Malek's performance as Freddie Mercury is (despite some limitations) outstanding.
The film definitely isn't any masterpiece or historically accurate, but it serves well as a simple memento of undying musical legend(s).
