Erika (17789 KP) rated Rocketman (2019) in Movies
Jun 8, 2019
Of course, this film will be endlessly with Bohemian Rhapsody, but it was inevitable, since they were released within a year of each other.
I thought Taron did well as Elton, as did the other cast. The film didn't pull punches, and showed the excessive drug/alcohol use. It was probably biased definitely towards Elton, since he was heavily involved.
I liked that the film was slightly surreal, though the trope of revealing all in a therapy setting has been overdone. It did pack an emotional punch, and it didn't feel like I'd been sitting there for over two hours.
