“Recreating LIVE AID in its entirety was sublime.”

“The whole thing felt stale and safe, moving from moment to moment without any real sense of urgency or excitement.”

“the choice to play "Who Wants to Live Forever" while Freddie Mercury goes to the hospital to get the diagnosis that he has Aids. It's so powerful and works on so many levels. I didn't expect that at all. The tragedy and sadness of it all is felt 100%”

“the opening credits. With a movie like this you’d expect some flashy opening title sequence, but instead the title just appears in small text at the bottom of the screen. Really surprising but made that opening somehow more powerful I think.”

“You will not see a more perfect and imperfect rock and roll biopic than Bohemian Rhapsody, which does many things extremely well, other things sort of average, and one thing flawlessly: capturing the immense charisma and panache of Queen singer Freddie Mercury. Jamie Foxx’s full-body inhabitation of Ray Charles just got some competition at the top.”
Kim Hughes, Original-Cin · 100
“Deftly tweaking the tropes of rock biopics, this drama of singer Freddie Mercury and British hitmakers Queen dazzlingly captures an era, a man and the universal quest for identity.”
Frank Lovece, Film Journal International · 90
“Appropriately for a group known for its theatrical, crowd-pleasing tunes, this authorised-by-the-band biopic carries itself lightly, serving up familiar plot points with panache and a sense of humour, while at the same time investing in the story’s emotional through-line, building to a genuinely moving climax.”
Tim Grierson, Screen Daily · 80
“As with all dramatized stories of real lives, artistic license hammers messy reality into a watchable film. Dramas are not documentaries. The essential emotions of Freddie’s life and the history of the band are here. There’s nothing unexpected in the structure of the movie. It’s a visit with some old mates you’ve not seen in a long time.”
Bradley Gibson, Film Threat · 80
“As with a concert or favorite record, sometimes it's best not to overthink things but simply let the visceral power take over. That is what made Queen and Freddie Mercury so special and that is why Bohemian Rhapsody will rock you, if you let it.”
Lina Lecaro, L.A. Weekly · 80

“A great movie for Queen fans with an awesome soundtrack and an incredible Rami Malek. I must point out that it is a movie about Queen and not a biography of Freddie Mercury which is not a criticism (Some expected this and found the movie a bit disappointing because of this). Queen is and was more than Freddie Mercury even when he is the driving factor, a legend and probably the greatest entertainer of his age especially on stage. He is however the most prominent character in the movie (Anything”

“Have a lot of appreciation for Queen. Not a favourite band of mine by all means, but it is difficult to not understand their importance and appeal. They had some iconic songs (namely "Bohemian Rhapsody", "We Will Rock You", "We Are the Champions" and "Don't Stop Me Now") and Freddie Mercury's immediately recognisable vocals and Brian May's virtuosic guitar playing were always out of this world. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' fascinated me when hearing about it and became most of my most anticipated films ”

“Comentario película “Bohemian Rhapsody” Es una película británica, dirigida por Bryan Singer estrenada en el año 2018 con una duración de 134 minutos, protagonizada por Rami Malek de genero dramático, nominada a 5 premios de la Academia incluyendo Mejor Película. En la película se relata el transcurso del grupo musical Queen y relata la vida de Freddy Mercury, el cual era muy estrafalario y rompía con los estereotipos propuestos por la sociedad de ese entonces para convertirse en uno de los can”

“**A good film about one of the great rock bands of the 20th century.** This is one of those films that was made with the fans of a personality in mind, more than the rest of the public. This, however, is not exactly a problem in my eyes, it is rather a characteristic of this film, common to other biographical films that are centered on very popular figures such as sportsmen, musicians or others. Directed by Bryan Singer, the film covers the journey of the notable rock band “Queen” and its ”

“Freddie Mercury and Queen finally get their big screen moment, after years in development hell, and the end result is more than a little overcooked. If there were a blueprint for making a safe rock biography, this would trust it like a Bible. It's so superficial and emotionally bland, I felt like I was watching a troupe of actors recite from the group's Wikipedia entry, with a few last-minute ninja edits tossed in to twist reality. Everything looks polished and, of course, the soundtrack is spe”
