Rocketman : A love letter to Bernie Taupin

Rating: 9/10 (4 July 2019)

A very honest portrait. I never realized how personal the lyrics were. It tells his story through the songs. The performances are very strong.
All through it though, there's Bernie. Who became his brother. Closer to him than anybody else. Its shows how amazingly strong their bond was. It pulls at your heartstrings when Bernie pleads with him to just go away with him, and get back to the best part of their lives, when they lived together, collaborating.
It doesn't shy away from his quirks. His being a diva at times.
His sessions in group are very personal. His journey to sobriety was very uplifting.
One of the best biographic movies I've ever seen.
