Well crafted rock biography/musical

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2020)

This movie will always be compared to Bohemian Rhapsody and I think it compares pretty well. The addition of the Hollywood musical element works and it's always great to hear the great tunes you grew up with scattered throughout the movie to help tell the story.
The one thing holding this movie back is the pacing and it feels like it's about a half hour too long. The leading performance is good but definitely not up to Rami Malek standards. Overall the acting could have been a bit more dynamic and less dry. I think they spent too much time on some things and not enough on others which makes the movie a little uneven. I do however like the style in which they chose to tell the story and themes that keep popping up tying the story together. 8/10
