FIrst time in 68 years when I saw a film two days in a row

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2018)

I did not know much about Queen and had no idea who Freddy Mercury was. I recognized the music- in fact I was blown away to realize that so many different sounding pieces were done by the same band.
However, this film is brilliant, both as a piece of storytelling, and as a showcase for the creative process of making music and performance. As a reminder of the early days of the AIDS epidemic it was spot-on.
As the credits rolled at the end of the film, for the first time in my life I wanted to immediately purchase another ticket for the next performance. I compromised and came back to the theater the next day with two friends.
This film touched my emotions in a way that no film has ever done- and no one is more surprised than me. I expected a good film but not a brilliant one. The actors' performances, script, direction editing and cinematography were equally well done.
I highly recommend seeing it on the big screen if you can.
