Amazing. See it even if you are not a huge fan of musicals/a bit of fantasy.

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2019)

This is not a movie that was meant to be an exact retelling of Elton John's rise. I was suspicious as it said it was in the fantasy genre, but it was very much grounded in reality and told this story beautifully. I went with people who typically dislike anything with a hint of musical in it and they all loved it.
I have found nothing I could use as justification for less than a 10/10. The facts check out. It was a great story, intertwined with a fantastic artistic display of his music. The only knock I have is that the quality of the CGI bothered me in one 30 seconds scene.
