The mainstream film I'm okay with seeing at the Oscars

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2019)

I'm an avid Queen fan, so this movie was easy for me to love. To simply put it, the film was fun. It was lighthearted and pulled on the heartstrings every time Freddie Mercury's voice roared. However, I'm also an avid Oscar fan, and I felt confused when it was nominated for Best Picture. Let me be clear, this film does not deserve Best Picture status. It was a fun, whimsical tale, but the writing and directing wasn't Oscar worthy. It deserved the Oscars it received, like Rami Malek winning best actor. He made the film what it is.
