The only thing more extraordinary than their music is his story.


Bohemian Rhapsody
A look at the life of legendary Queen front-man Freddy Mercury, in particular the run-up to the Live Aid benefit concert.

This is the 2D version.

ViolenceLow and infrequent Violence is depicted in an isolated scene, there is some threat and menace but it was considered too low and too infrequent to include as consumer advice.
PrejudiceLow and Infrequent prejudice was determined once from a disgruntled ex-emplyee and rejected lover, and once from a man who knows no better and doesn't realise that what he is saying could be determined as intolerant and insensitive. Prejudice was determined as too low and too infrequent to warrant consumer advice in this age category.

Cape Argus / The Star
Jamal-Dean Grootboom quote iconBohemian Rhapsody fails to strike chord.

Alex Isaacs quote iconDon’t get me wrong, this movie, for all it’s faults, will still get you dancing and singing along. It is centred around one of the greatest bands in the world’s music after all. And in spite of everything, Rami will pull you through. His performance in this movie is like the promise of Friday night beer at the end of a long week, it will keep you going.

Tomatometer quote iconBohemian 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.
