Fascinating view

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2019)

My disclaimer first: Elton John has been one of my favorite singers but I started listening to his work way after he was famous, so I did not know anything about his personal life, struggles, etc. Watching this movie, it was clear to me how his roller-coaster made him a better artist. As opposed to Bohemian Rapsody, this movie is based on his work and hearing his songs in the context of his own life is a great twist. It is not a masterpiece but it is raw, entertaining and definitely a window into one of music's largest personalities. I came out respecting and liking him more.
