Review of Rocketman (2019) by Brent_Marchant — 01 Jun 2019
A flamboyantly engaging biopic that hits all the right notes from start to finish. The film's inventive song-based approach to this character study adds punch to the storyline, playing like an old-style musical, one that actually works in a contemporary cinematic landscape largely devoid of this genre due to stale or forced releases.
Taron Egerton gives a career performance as the rock idol who had, and nearly lost, it all, a portrayal easily worth an Oscar. Director Dexter Fletcher's offering is nothing what I expected -- and exceeds all of what I hoped for.
Don't miss this one.
