Good Movie - Not Quite What I Expected

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2019)

I have to say I was expecting a movie much more akin to Bohemian Rhapsody, and not one which could be described as 'EJ does Mamma Mia'. I many places the movie uses the music to replace, or accentuate the scripting, and in general does this in a good way - if not a little flamboyant and self indulgent. But behind this there is a moving story of Eltons childhood and early life in the music industry that he clearly was not mentally strong enough to steer clear of.
A good watch and very touching, although each will make their mind up of how much this was self inflicted or otherwise.
