One of the best movies I ever saw

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2019)

I loved the movie.
The movie does what Freddie Mercury did, for millions of people: It touched and moved me, deeply. I have seen Freddie Mercury and his performances described as dionysian, and that is exactly how the movie affected me: It touched my emotions and my instincts.
As a teenager I was never deeply into Queen. Now, as an adult, the movie touched me deeply. The way Malek's voice was blended into Mercury's voice was brilliantly done, considering the challenge of presenting the voice of the finest singer in popular music.
If I could, I would give Malek three Oscars for this performance.
What puzzles me, are the critics reviews. This film touched me, moved me and I adored the music and loved the fine acting.
I suppose what we see in a movie somewhat reflects what we carry inside us, what we bring to the movie. Whether the resulting professional review is of any use to me remains a mystery.
Bottom line: In 9 out of 10 cases I have a diametrically opposed view of the movie than the critics. I enjoyed this movie hugely and I realise that I don't need professional critics. For me a movie, a theatre performance creates an illusion to entertain me. The movie did this for me, brilliantly.
