I don't know what you guys were expecting, but I cried

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2018)

I've been reading reviews about this film where people are bagging it for not exploring Freddie's upbringing more, and that is totally valid considering there are not too many people of colour who get this type of treatment on film (which needs to change, and that change will start with a full-length film about Eartha Kitt, I'm speaking it into existence). But I think people really need to readjust their view of this film from being solely about Freddie to being about Freddie in the context of Queen's fame. That said, this was my first experience seeing Rami Malek on a screen larger than my computer and, yeah, I did cry thanks for asking.
