Sensational!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2019)

I've seen this movie close to 11 times, firstly I'm a baby boomer and remember this era well, I loved Elton's music it always took me back to a happy place when i was older, this ,movie was never boring for a second, the start is fabulous and while it's a musical drama fantasy, it all works, the acting is top notch and Taron Egerton deserves an Oscar!, If Rami Malek scored one for BoRhap which didn't really have a super strong story line, it was Rami's 20 minutes at Wembley Stadium that sealed it as it was magnificent. Taron was singing right throughout and delivers very emotional and heartfelt scenes. If your not into musicals you may not get overjoyed by it, but if you can understand that this was a great way for him to incorporate his songs into certain times in his life, you will enjoy it. It's raw, not politically correct which I love and there's a love scene between himself and his manager, it's an important part in his life and his first love, I loved BoRhap but if these two movies were lined up side by side for best Oscar actor and picture this wins hands down for me.
