Bohemian Rhapsody hits a handful of high notes, but as an in-depth look at a beloved band, it offers more of a medley than a true greatest hits collection.

The only redeeming value of Bohemian Rhapsody is it's so bad, there's plenty of room left for a much better biopic about the one and only Freddie Mercury. Feb 19, 2019 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

As for Freddie Mercury, is this his real life? Is this just fantasy - not sure that really matters either. When Malek's strutting like a peacock, this movie is a decently amusing escape from reality. Nov 13, 2018 | Full Review…

Malek does an impressive job of re-creating Mercury's moves onstage, but the core of the performance is Malek's intensely thoughtful, insight-rich channelling of Mercury's hurt, his alienation and isolation even at the height of his fame. Nov 6, 2018 | Full Review…

Ideally, a film like this would attempt to add to, or to contextualize, a legacy. Instead, "Bohemian Rhapsody" tries to sanctify it, pack it in bubble wrap to protect it from causing, or being caught in, any friction. Nov 3, 2018 | Full Review…

This is record label-approved hagiography, and those doing the approving seem to see Mercury's sexual orientation as a character flaw he must overcome. Jan 21, 2020 | Full Review…

Though Rami Malek (Mr Robot) obviously poured his heart into the role, he could never have won, given the source material he had to work with. Jan 2, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Bohemian Rhapsody is an expensive cosplay. It is plotted with the passion of a Wikipedia summary article. It hums along inoffensively for 2 hours. Sep 30, 2019 | Full Review…

Bohemian Rhapsody is well-crafted and exhilarating at times. It doesn't do much to break the mold of a typical biopic. Aug 2, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
