Entertaining but chronologically inaccurate

Rating: 8/10 (23 January 2020)

Solid acting and singing, however chronologically I found the film quite confusing. It ends with Elton John performing "I'm Still Standing" upon his exit from rehab - however that song came out in '83 while the end credits say he's been sober for 28 years - so from 1990. The ending also suggests he has fired John Reid which happened neither in '83 nor in '90 but in 1998.
While the costumes and actual live performances aimed at being 100% accurate, I would say the movie is loosely based on his life and is in no way a true biopic.
