Taron Egerton definitely nailed it! A fantastic showcase of both beautiful music and moving story of a musical genius. The support from Jamie Bell, Richard Madden and even Bryce Dallas Howard completes the entertainment. I appreciate how the musicality and fancy production numbers envelopes the depth and seriousness of the subject, which reflects the suppressed feelings of sadness within Elton John as he tries to entertain his fans. I find the film a bit "incomplete" but I forgive it knowing that Elton John's life continues anyway. My only disappointment is that they skipped the part where he could have sung "Can't You Feel the Love Tonight".
