Have to say I really enjoyed this , I was expecting a biopic more like bohemian rhapsody but what we get a is a musical rock opera that explodes with sound and colour , old potato head was a lot better in the lead role of Elton than I ever thought he would be, the level of acting was excellent throughout and film as expertly directed by Dexter Fletcher. Sad, touching and uplifting . I really was surprised by just what a huge star he was at his height , I knew he was popular but not as popular as showing. unlike rhapsody they didn't shy away from his drug / alcohol abuse and love a sasuage. 9/10
