Rami Malek Captures the Cosmic Energy of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody

If the average music biopic positions a microscope on a single character, Bohemian Rhapsody calls for a telescope. ‘Queen’ frontman Freddie Mercury is deserving of his chosen moniker. He’s a celestial body that looms large in the lives of every character on screen with an irrefutable gravitational pull.
