Moving, bold and confident musical theatre show!

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2019)

God I find it difficult to put into words how much I loved this movie! The beginning felt a lot like seeing a musical on West-end. The same buzz, excitement... and oh the extravagant outfits! Superb! After having seen A star is born and Bohemian Rhapsody and loving both, I had a lot of expectations with this one... I have to say it surprised me in the way it was told. Not always in chronogolical order, some bits skipped/ left out of the movie (like the "after the pool incident", after the stairs. I would have liked to see when David entered the picture)... But those are choices that were made which I respect. Kudos to the cast Jamie Bell, Richard Madden, Gemma Jones and Bryce Howard Dallas... But mostly kudos to Taron Egerton! Deserves his oscar for this bold and confident rendition of a not-so-everyday- man...
