Wow! Taron Edgerton is Oscar material!

Rating: 6/10 (3 June 2019)

This was probably the biggest surprise film so far this year. I was not anticipating this film at all, but I thought it was great! The performances were pretty stellar, Taron Edgerton gives an Oscar worthy performance in this film. Jaime Bell and Richard Madden were also great. This truly is a musical fantasy, it was stylish and different which I loved. The directing wasn't anything special, although there were some long takes that I appreciated. The structure was a little flimsy, it was a little too long, the pacing was a little boring and repetitive in some areas, but not overall. It also follows your typical biopic formula, but it's pretty unique on its own, so overall that overshadows it's familiar formula. Overall I loved this film, and I hope Taron Edgerton is not overlooked in this year's Oscar season.
