Never has production issues been so clear

Rating: 6/10 (4 March 2019)

If Malek grows a mustache and cuts his hair then cinema goers can suspend disbelief far enough to be watching a pretty good Freddie mercury. The accent was a bit off putting but oh the teeth....... WHY? its a movie not an impersonation. I am glad Malek got an oscar because it was a fantastic physical performance but why did they persist.....
Apart from that a lot of this was watchable. If you are a queen fan then you will love it. I understand the rating vs lifestyle depiction issues but there really is so much nod and winking going on that it starts to lose credibility.
The live aid scene was fantastic. It jarred for me as i know they totally screwed with the timeline of live aid, the band break up and his diagnosis. However i kind of got why they did that.
