Brilliant performance by Blunt as a Freddie. Better than Bohemian Rhapsody. Shame then that they didn't put as much into the casting of the other band members. Roger Taylor being particularly bad, and that wig! Anyway, apart from Roger it's well directed and great insight from the interviewees. There could have been more supporting interviews but I guess they had to work with what they had. Very well constructed and the mix of reconstruction and real archive footage is perfect. Once again Blunt is magnificent. When you consider that by 1997 there was a 'virtual' cure for HIV/Aids it's even more of a tragedy that We lost Freddie. Given a few more years and the new breakthrough in drugs literally would reverse the onslaught of this terrible disease. Thank God that now it is not the death sentence that ravaged to 80s and 90s.

Wonderfully done. Blunt's portrayal of Freddie is magnificent. I wasn't sure if I'd like the half-documentary, half-dramatization, but I ended up loving it.

This docu-biography-drama is full of mistakes.The only true biography of Freddie Mercury is in the book "The show must go on".This movie is even worst than Bohemian Rhapsody, the acting is worst if can be worst than in Bohemians Rhapsody, The way is Freddie presented is outrageous
