I wasn't expecting that!

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 2019)

Well that was a bit of an emotional roller coaster! I had a lump in my throat several times watching this. The music is excellent and the timing of its usage is where the real emotion is. Taron is completely believable as Elton and portrays the flamboyant star like no one else could. He owned the role like malek owned Freddie and the story doesn't hold back on Eltons sad relationships with hie mother and father in childhood and in later life. Ultimately uplifting it does contain some tear in the eye moments.
Well i thought so anyway.
