Critics' reviews

"Call it Elton John’s 'Bohemian Rhapsody', with more sex, more drugs and a killer performance from Taron Egerton(…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"Let’s be honest: Whatever compelled Reginald Dwight to become Elton John was probably a lot more complicated than simply not getting enough hugs from his father (...) as the film implies."

Peter Debruge: Variety
"The point of 'Rocketman' isn't self-aggrandizement. It's fan service of an especially and characteristically generous kind"

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"It's largely to the credit of star Taron Egerton (...) that the movie remains airborne (...) [It] commits wholeheartedly to its flashy eccentricity, and for many, that will be more than fun enough."

David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"'Bohemian Rhapsody,’ with more sex, more drugs and a killer performance from Taron Egerton (...) Rating: ★★★★ (ouf of 5)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"[It] gets right far more than it gets wrong. There’s no sugar-coating of the drug and booze abuse, but it doesn’t lean in too hard on the cinematic clichés of white lines and endless empties either (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Phil de Semlyen: Time Out
"Its depiction of rock 'n' roll debauchery still falls within a range of perfunctory, somewhat sanitized gestures (...) What you may not always anticipate is the wit and imagination of the staging"

Justin Chang: Los Angeles Times
