Yet another film making abundant use of an artist's music, making you wonder what would be left of the film if you excluded the music. In this long-awaited Freddie Mercury biopic, the immortal songs (and the story of their making) are undoubtedly exhilarating beyond entertainment. But there's not much drama between those songs. Silly dialogue obstruct us from understanding his inner feelings about parental rejection, his approach to the tabooism of bisexuality, or his closure with contracting AIDS. Don’t get me wrong - especially with Rami Malek's performance, this is a film to be seen. But this is no masterpiece.
