Deserves a 10

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2018)

I'd usually never give a movie 10 because you'll find a flaw somewhere but this deserves so much more than 9.
The performances were excellent, Rami's was outstanding (I'm glad Sasha B Cohen didn't complete the project), I think he'll be a contender for an Oscar. Of course the music was superb. If you're any kind of music fan, you must see this movie. Yes, it will have you tearing up towards the end but it finishes on a high.
I wasn't disappointed, like others, in the amount of coverage of Freddie's sexual escapades, that's not why we love him. The love story with Mary Austin was something I wasn't aware of so it was touching to see.
I'm left wondering what other hits they would've produced had Freddie lived through the AIDS crisis.
