Bohemian Rhapsody

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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.

Bohemian Rhapsody | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Alessa Dominguez BuzzFeed News In trying to tell Mercury’s queer story through his straight bandmates’ eyes, the new Queen biopic ends up saying almost nothing at all. Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Bohemian Rhapsody | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Victoria Luxford BBC.com Like many biopics, it's a bit glossy when it comes to the darker moments in (Freddie Mercury's) life. but the affection for the music and the great man is absolutely there.. Rated: 3/5 Mar 14, 2022 Full Review Bohemian Rhapsody | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Marissa De La Cerda Chicago Reader The film ends on a musical high, accurately capturing the essence of the band's energy but, despite Malek's best efforts, fails to capture the elusiveness of Freddie Mercury. Feb 29, 2020 Full Review Bohemian Rhapsody | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews With great chemistry, the cast delivers a lot of entertaining moments, both musically and dramatically. Brilliant use of an incredible soundtrack which culminates in an epic reenactment of the famous 1985's show. Rated: A- Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Bohemian Rhapsody | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Amy Thomasson InSession Film Rami Malek gives a mediocre performance of one of the most iconic rock stars of all time.

Anna This movie in theaters was a bigger experience than i can explain! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/23 Full Review HK1213 Good to see what it was like seeing Queen's in the stage. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/22 Full Review Kevin M Great film; Queen fandom not required. Portrays the life of one of rock’s greatest singers. And that recreation of the ’85 Live Aid performance – absolutely thrilling! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Vibav T It may not be the greatest bio of Queen, but it is an amazing experience either way for Queen/Freddie fans or even casual watchers who like enjoyable chemistry between the characters. Rami nailed it as one of the greatest rockstars in history Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Audience Member O filme falha ao tentar contar a história da vida de Freddie Mercury, tendo demasiada liberdade criativa sobre a realidade e parecendo querer focar-se mais na música do que na história em si. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Dan R A career defining performance from Rami Malek, emotionally rich story that guides you through all sorts heartaches. Best biopic out there. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
