Superb!

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2019)

I'm not a fan of Taron Egerton. He was absolutely amazing in this role, seriously good. During Bohemian Rhapsody, the illusion was often broken because Remy Malek just can't act (he just didn't capture the real Freddie). With Taron, all I could see was Elton John.
This movie, while taking liberties, feels genuine. It really felt like the real deal.
If you like Elton John and can handle some homosexual scenes, this is a stellar movie.
Side note: I found out a close friend of the family was gay back in the early 70s. None of us were bothered by it at all. It's true that general social attitudes have changed, but, homosexuality was not such a big deal (think of Bowie/Jagger/Mercury - many of the general public knew they were bi/gay - i'd even go as far to say the 70s was more diverse than today by far).
