Review of Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) by Steve B — 18 Jan 2019
It's really good. Very entertaining. I understand that many details are contrived and the timeline is out of whack for dramatic purposes - but that is the case with most based-on-truth movies. Best Picture winner Argo comes immediately to mind.
Whatever, in this case, those dramatic purposes are achieved. It's impossibly neat and tidy - manipulative - but very satisfying. It's a people-pleaser. They tricked me for a couple of hours into thinking I care about Queens music more than I actually do.
I am always a huge sucker for portrayals of seminal moments of creative stuff that has gone on to be BIG in my life and times. This movie has that in spades. 8.1 out of 10.
