Fantastical biopic of the genius that is Elton John

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2019)

"My name is Elton Hercules John." This musical biopic is skillfully guided by actor-turned-director Dexter Fletcher who also worked on Bohemian Rhapsody, a biopic of Freddie Mercury in Queen. This film is timed perfectly to coincide with Elton John's 4-year retirement tour.
It's important to know that many of the moments of the movie are not in correct chronological order, just in case you thought this was a factual retelling of sorts. Rocketman has been described by many as more of a fantasy than truth, more of a painting than a mirror. The presentation style of the story was perfect to honor the creativity of the genius that is Elton John.
The acting is fantastic and will, hopefully, earn Taron Egerton an Oscar nomination. You can see my full movie review at Movie Review Mom.
