'Bohemian Rhapsody': Not too . . .

Musical, not too gay, not too melodramatic, not too forced. This was an entertaining and compelling film that seemed to hit all the right notes while telling Freddy's story of his failures in love, his perfectionism, his eccentricities, and his ultimate surrender to being gay and subsequently contracting and dying of AIDS-related pneumonia.

Malek came dangerously close to camping-out but gave a very entertaining performance as the front man. The attending cast were all good and the story moved and held one's interest. Malek appeared to be doing the singing but he had help from two former band members and an outside singer. He said in an interview that it is so well mixed that it's hard to tell it's not 100% Rami.

If you are a rock'n roller or music lover you will probably enjoy this a lot. The pace makes it go by fast so stay alert.

PS. I expected not to like this as I was never a Queen fan. Too bad I did't pay attention beyond "A Night at the Opera".
