Review of Rocketman (2019) by Anthony Lane for The New Yorker — 02 Jun 2019
Egerton is busy and fizzy in the leading role, but there’s a curious blankness in his impersonation, and a shortage of charm. Hard to tell whether viewers will flock to him as they did to Rami Malek, who gave such electric life to “Bohemian Rhapsody.
” Yet Rocketman is the better film. Not by much, but just enough.
