Bohemian Rhapsody
(2018)
Directed by Bryan
Singer this film based on real events stars Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton,
Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy and Joe Mazzello. We follow the life of Freddie
Mercury from his joining Queen to their performance at Live Aid.
Essentially this is
the cinematic equivalent of a greatest hits album and it gets a bit
wanky towards the end. There is stuff to enjoy here but this is not
an in depth of very serious look at the history of either Mercury or
Queen, events are simplified, moved around or fabricated at times.
What is worth watching for is the transformative performance from
Rami Malek and the excellent casting of the rest of the band.
3/5
