What the Critics say | ||
| 24.com Gabi Zietsman  The comparison between Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman will be inevitable - two biopics coming out in the same year about two gay musical legends - but in the end, they are two completely different films that might even stand in separate genres. | 20 |  |
