Tricky one to appraise

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 2018)

Remi Malik gets a solid 9 for his brilliant portrayal and the other main characters a very solid 8. But that is only performances. Music is a natural solid 10 (or why would bother to watch this).
But...the film overall only merits a 7. Why? It's a run of the mill biopic that has its schmaltzy moments and never gets close to Mercury as a person.
That said. If you like Queen this is a must see film, ideally somewhere big and very loud. Go and see it. Now!
