Bohemian Rhapsody

Film · 2018

Singer Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and bass guitarist John Deacon take the music world by storm when they form the rock 'n' roll band Queen in 1970. Hit songs become instant classics. When Mercury's increasingly wild lifestyle starts to spiral out of control, Queen soon faces its greatest challenge yet – finding a way to keep the band together amid the success and excess.

The sides of Bohemian Rhapsody

  • A shy boy becoming Freddie Mercury
  • How the hits were made
  • Twenty minutes at Live Aid

Bohemian Rhapsody is good for you if…

  • you like singing along to Queen in the cinema.
  • you like an actor disappearing into a legend.
  • you want a crowd-pleaser that ends on a high.

Bohemian Rhapsody is bad for you if…

  • you want the hard part told in full. It ends at Live Aid, years before Freddie's death.
  • you roll your eyes at big speeches. Freddie tells the band they are his family before Live Aid.
