Review of Rocketman (2019) by Compi24 — 31 May 2019
The year's first real contender for Best Picture makes itself known in approximately extravagant fashion. Dexter Fletcher's "Rocketman" is a musical biopic told in a manner that just about perfectly embodies that of the film's legendary subject.
It's bombastic, soulful, fierce and visually involved, surging brightly ahead of other, similar films with ease and charm. What cannot be oversold here, though, is the absolutely career-defining performance from Taron Egerton, who tackles just about every kind of difficult scene an actor can perform, from crying scenes, to sex scenes, to full-on song and dance numbers and more.
Regardless of your relationship or familiarity with the music at hand, it is really an impressive and imaginative sight to behold.
