Not Enraptured by BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY but it Captured and Bows to Queen's Musical Masterpieces

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is a biopic rock & roll flick that's more discordant than in harmony with itself.  The film pays tribute to the legendary music composed & recorded by the rock band Queen.  Sadly, it's a disjointed biopic/historic account of Freddy Mercury's (FM) life and the rock group Queen from 1970 - 1985 LIVE AID Concert aired world wide from Wimbly Stadium.  The movie does hit several high notes.  The first being the crescendo performance by Rami Malek as FM along with his an exceptional cast.  Special shout outs to FM's bandmates Guilym Lee (Brian May), Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) and Jim Beach (Tom Hollander) the band's atty./manager.  The performances raise this incoherent story from a D to a C sharp.  The major problem lies with the screenplay written by Anthony McCarten (b New Zealand 1961).  McCarter is responsible for the award winning biopic films "The Theory of Everything" and "The Darkest Hour".  Nonetheless, I will attack the film from all fronts for its historical inaccuracies and abrupt shifts.  ROLLING STONE has been vocal about the fallacies in the chronology of the film.  Director/actor Fletcher Dexter (b UK 1966) took over directing after Bryan Singer dropped out & Rami Malek stepped into the lead role after Sacha Baron Cohen originally slated in 2013.  Dexter, better known for his acting versus directing ("Band of Brothers") defends the film's inexactness by claiming artistic license and disclaiming itself as a documentary.  Still, there are major missteps that detour way off key.  Queen never disbanded and the reunion before the LIVE AID CONCERT 1985 while touching is a gross fabrication.   FM wasn't diagnosed with AIDS until at least a year after the '85 Concert.  The film takes too many shortcuts.  It fumbles with domestic scenes of FM with his family.   that bookend the movie.  This artistic choice was an odd overture and weak encore.  FM's grandiose personality is in sharp contrast with his sexuality.  FM is painted as a pathetic, lonely gay man seeking sexual exploits in bathrooms or groping the help.  The enduring relationship between FM and his wife Mary (Lucy Boynton) is ambiguous & the kumbaya offstage love feast at the '85 concert was mawkish.  Still, Queen's innovative musical compositions which crossed boundaries & mixed genres.  FM's incredible vocal chops & the bravado to experiment & pave their own path proved legendary.  BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is not a champion platinum picture.  It didn't deserve the numerous Golden Globe nominations except in the acting categories.  Queen's operatic manifesto is overrun with a misfit, syrupy story.  It did not did not rock me.
