It's a Two Hour Pity Party for Elton!

Rating: 1/10 (6 June 2019)

I love Elton John...but this movie is nothing but a long pity party for him! The entire movie is obsessed with showing us what a victim he was...people treating him badly and how all these awful things made him resort to drugs, sex, and self hate. "It wasn't his fault!" Meanwhile, he's the center of the world's attention and making millions. There is not one ounce of joy in this movie. Being a fan of Elton John, I think the movie missed the mark badly by not using Elton's own voice during the songs...the movie needed the brightness and joy of his voice.
