So Wonderful, Just Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2018)

A truly great movie on every level. Rami Malek deserves an Oscar for his sensitive performance of this troubled artist that was Freddie Mercury. He captures the fun and the humour of the man and the loyalty of his friends and family in intimate micro gestures that show a meticulous attention to his craft and a near super attention to detail. Rami was Freddie at no point did you question his interpretation, it was mesmerising in its intensity.
The whole cast was brilliant and captured the time so well. Freddie died 27 years ago and yet this movie excluded no one in the auditorium.
The songs were played in full and the experimental and alternative nature of Queen was shown in all its glory.
The direction was masterful, the editing crisp and special mention must go to the settings and stylings of several scenes in clubs and studios, we were in the 80's.
Without doubt this is one of the best movies of the year thus far and a must see.
