Bohemian Rhapsody
2018 · Bryan Singer · 134 min · Musical Biography
Bohemian Rhapsody is a crowd-pleasing music biopic that works far better as a celebration of Queen than as a faithful portrait of Freddie Mercury. Rami Malek's performance is extraordinary and the Live Aid sequence is among the most thrilling concert recreations ever put on screen. The film plays loose with history and sidesteps the complexities of its subject's life in ways that will frustrate anyone looking for depth. But if you're there for the music and the spectacle, it delivers on both counts.
