Rocketman (2019)
Taron Egerton looks nothing like Elton John, yet I felt like spending 2 hours with him.
This is a real musical with 50% of the movie being songs often presented in a surrealistic way.
Even if I like Bohemian Rhapsody, I think Rocketman is the better movie to me because that crazy musical approach of storytelling takes the audience on a trip without any "but did it really happen that way?" moments. Most scenes are simply too staged to always look "realistic" (and I think some people could maybe don't like that) but the feeling that they give to the audience is even more powerful. Again, it's a true musical. You just follow Elton John's feelings during that period of time, and it works great.
(Kudos to Elton John for being the producer of this project and yet have some scenes where he acts like a complete dick.)
And you can tell everybody... this is a good movie.
