A stunning masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2019)

I'm going to see Rocketman for the third time this coming weekend. Taron Egerton's performance is so nuanced and precise without just being straight up mimicry. The fantasy elements make it fun and over the top (just like the man himself) and Dexter Fletcher's directing is stunning. Elton's music is used with great effect in every scene and the whole movie combines heartbreaking emotion with scenes of pure joy. The themes and message is strong of being yourself and not conforming to others ideals. It's nothing like Bohemian Rhapsody, although comparisons will be made... Rocketman is so much better.
