They say biographies do not make good movies -WRONG

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2019)

Two years in a row - great movies about great musicians. This film is introduced so well and the telling by Elton John of how he got where is was in the different timeframes - well done. Also the music connections to what he was going through at the time - well done. Learned so much about his life - two uncaring and incapable of caring parents, but thank heaven for his grandmother since she was the only one in the house who encouraged him.
Another movie about the hard time a gay person has when trying to be themselves. Yes it deserves the R rating and I am glad Elton Joh insisted that he had not led a PG-13 life.
Stay for the credits - so worth it. Hope this gets the oscars it deserves.
