I was forewarned that this wasn't a bo-rap style biopic - but a more artistically creative and personal view of Elton Johns life and career.
It is enlightening, emotional in parts, thought provoking and sometimes shocking; and we are there at the most poignant and important moments of Eltons life.
Rather than the scale of the gigs, which we see in Bo Rap; this is more intimate; how an extroverted introvert sees and feels.
*slight spoiler*. The swimming pool scene is particularly good - and the first song at the troubadour gig.
*spoiler* in those final scenes - forgiving himself and embracing the young child he once was - is poignant. And something maybe we could all learn to do.
Taron, by the way, is very good in this. Very very good. It wouldn't surprise me for him to get an Oscar mid
