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.

In trying to tell Mercury’s queer story through his straight bandmates’ eyes, the new Queen biopic ends up saying almost nothing at all.

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

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.

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-

Rami Malek gives a mediocre performance of one of the most iconic rock stars of all time. I don’t envy anybody having to step into that role. However, when the most prominent thing about Freddie in this film is his hideous prosthetic teeth...

Not the strongest of the latest surge of true stories in music told via film but it's still a moving journey & worth a watch. I wasn't so convinced by Malik's performance however.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
