An Elton John Biopic Not Just for Elton John Fans

Rating: 6/10 (2 September 2019)

"Rocketman," the musical biopic of Elton John, while far from a perfect film, is very enlightening and entertaining for both fans and those who might only be peripherally familiar with the singer's work and tumultuous life. Good music well integrated with plot and character, and impressive performances. Excellent production values and persuasively re-created performance scenes. Worth a look.
