Amazing! Freddie and Queen still live!

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2019)

I stupidly thought I would not like a biopic about Queen without the original band. My son- who well remembers watching the Live Aid gig on TV with me- really almost 35 years ago? - insisted I went with him when he went back to see it a second time. It was breathtaking- and everyone in it was superb- each actor playing a band member actually looked like the. By the time they got to Live Aid I thought I was watching the actual band. Rami Malek was amazing- and deserves every award coming his way-but everyone was marvellous. I came out weeping- not only because the performances were so moving- but like many who lived through the Queen period- we still grieve for a lovely soul who was taken too early. I have been re-listening to all my cds since seeing it. Magical.
