Musical biography thats entertaining and inspiring.

Rating: 7/10 (19 June 2019)

Ive always liked elton john as a singer and artist most of his singles are catchy and inspiring and in my opinion he still one of the best musicians thats ever lived, this film is poignant , engaging, and exciting , the film focuses on his childhood , his early fame to the peak of his career , his rejection over his sexuality from his overbearing and unloving parents and his close relationship with his grandmother and of course his turbulent relationship with his manager( john reid )and supposed lover who nearly drove the poor guy to drink, drugs and suicide.
The film is very good overall , but i thought the musical within a musical in some scenes was overused and a little pointless, richard madden as elton johns manager -john reid ,of game of thrones and the bodygaurd seemed miscast in this , i thought his performance was wooden and annoying, but taron edgerton gives a believable performance as elton john , and his singing as elton isnt bad either! would like to watch it again when it comes out on blu ray . 👍 eltons still standing!
