Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound, their near-implosion as Mercury's lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid, where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. In the process, cementing the legacy of a band that were always more like a family, and who continue to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

Nothing more than a conventional, old fashioned musical biography, but one done up with such verve and technical proficiency that it's engaging from beginning to end.November 01, 2018
What could be a strutting, fabulous testament to the glamour of Queen's arena-rock showboating is instead hamstrung with the need to explain, and then underline that explanation, and then circle it...October 31, 2018
Bohemian Rhapsody doesn't suck. There's a soul inside it, and some anguish, too.November 01, 2018
By rights, this ought to be a glammed-up, sexually-charged, four-octave blowout. Instead, it's a stilted, stagy, hopelessly corny biopic, the kind of thing "Walk Hard" was meant to prevent.October 31, 2018
In struggling to make a salable PG-13 movie out of an R-rated rock life, this Queen biopic stumbles. But there's only praise to heap on Rami Malek whose tour de force performance as Freddie Mercury will definitely rock you.October 31, 2018
An entertaining movie that sometimes chastise Mercury more than honor him but gets upped by Malik's almost mystical performance (Full Spanish review in link)October 31, 2018
[Malek] burns up the screen as Mercury whether dealing with intimate personal issues, ego-driven conflicts behind the scenes, or on stage in performance.November 01, 2018
You'll leave grinning and humming Queen anthems for days to come.November 01, 2018
Even as a celebration of Queen's music, Rhapsody is superficial and unconvincing, functioning only as a collection of mediocre music videos.October 31, 2018
Bohemian Rhapsody fulfils its checklist as a Queen biopic, delivering a feel-good movie that hits all the expected notes without particularly innovating otherwise.November 01, 2018
The trouble isn't really star Rami Malek, who gives a mesmerizing if opaque performance as Mercury. The problem is that the movie doesn't have anything interesting to say.October 31, 2018
Pretty much everyone in this film is a cipher, particularly Mercury's bandmates.
