Review
Both old and new fans of Reginald Dwight (Elton John) will enjoy this extremely well told story of his life and rise to stardom. Told in a theatrical journey, it traces his life from young boy to current day, intergating the lyrics from his songs to trace the journey.
The movie never pretends to be a traditional biopic. It's a fantasy musical told from the perspective of a burned-out, drug-addled Elton reflecting on his wild life from a rehab facility in the early 1990s. Characters burst into elaborately choreographed song and dance routines, songs are played long before he wrote them. The film is a wonderful compelling narrative, capturing the emotional truth of Elton's life.
Do yourself a favour.. you'll love it
