I'm very disappointed by the way movie portrays Freddie - like he was an angel. A few things are on my mind: Mary saying, "Oh, Freddie, you are gay." but we never see, not in a single shot that she is not satisfied with the life they have. They have sex, she is happy, smiling, cheerful after all that, goes to work like she is the happiest person in the world. And boom, Freddie, you are gay. The director obviously skipped to show that part, to tell us what situations led her to say something like that, 'cause all we, the spectators, know is they have a perfect life. Second, Freddie was gay - okay, no sex scenes, not even kissing scenes (except for just one tiny kiss, which was, by the way, so short that I cannot even remember who kissed him), the language Freddie used in his life was not angelic as well. No drugs, no this, no that - this movie resembles all Russian movies about LGBT characters (or some other tricky topic), where they exclude all profanity language, all "vulgar or pervert scenes", leaving us watch like a fairy tale for kids. The musical performance is great throughout the whole movie, and Rami Malek did a really great job; however, if I want to watch Queen performing Live Aid 1985, I will certainly visit YT and enjoy the REAL performance, not the copy of it, no matter how great it is.

I must say that I was very sceptic at first that I was actually going to like this movie, the reason being I was not very much of a Phoenix fun. BUT I was absolutely flabbergasted! His acting, his posture, his movements, his facial expressions - he nailed it, and he really deserves this rating 10. Beautiful shots as well largely contribute to a general feeling, "Oh, boy, the best two hours of my life." The message: look around, 'jokers' are everywhere around us....unfortunately, it's we who make them us) who they are, it's their(our) own families who create jokers, it's the whole society, and the way they treat them from the moment they are born,who makes these Jokers, waiting their moment to explode. He is an antihero, misfortune permeates his whole life, but you simply cannot but sympathize with him...as you sow, so you shall reap.

It's a pleasent surprise that all movie fans need to see. Besides murders being in the center of the story-telling, It's actually a multi-layered social drama, exploring many subjects, an unconventional love, depression, living in a provincial place where life almost equals death, etc.
