Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2019)

Best movie of the year (so far). The movie makes the perfect choice to flip the genre of musical biopics on its head. The film does go the way you would expect it... but it is still very fresh. The direction choice of making the movie a full on musical was great. The movie was a blast because of it. This film is not safe, it takes risks... especially with the musical aspect to the film. But of course, the musical serves a purpose, as the movie perfectly captures what every musical biopic should do. Capture the musicians life, which means capturing the full highs, and the full lows with confidence. Without that your film would feel fake. But Rocketman never feels fake. It is incredibly risky and confident. I loved every moment of it.
