A good movie and an Outstanding performance by its lead.

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2019)

To call this movie a biography would be inaccurate as the makers have taken many creative liberties, hagiography would be more accurate. Despite that, the movie is highly enjoyable and at the end, I had a deep appreciation for the band, their music, what they stood for and Freddie Mercury. Rami Malek is outstanding, his performance cannot be described by words. The scenes featuring the band members interacting with each other and creating music are like fireworks, spectacular to watch. The 'live-aid' performance which has been meticulously created and executed. It is impossible to not be swept away by the rhythm, for me that was the best part of the movie.
