I've never known 2h15 go so quickly: fabulous film.

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2018)

This is a fabulous film from start to finish. Normally after about 90 minutes of any film I'm starting to fidget. This is the fist time that hasn't happened. I was spellbound by the story, the performances and the music.
The film begins and ends with Freddie's finest hour. Or, rather, his finest 20 minutes: the one when Queen ruled the world. And the greatest live performance in the history of rock and pop. That was so the right decision. It begins and ends with Queen's crowning glory, not with the tragedy or the tortured soul within that brilliant body.
Rami Malek is absolutely sensational. He is supported by other brilliant performances especially Lucy Boynton and Gwilym Lee as Freddie's wife Mary and Brian May respectively. But it's Malek who fittingly steals the show. What a performance.
I love it when a film defies the critics. Two fingers up to the miserable pen pushers. The cinema was packed. People were clapping and tapping along.
Go and see this. It's fabulous.
