It's a weird thing, to have one of the best biopics around not be exactly a biopic. That's the case with Rocketman, the movie that tells the story of how Sir Elton John overcame his addictions and burnout to consolidate himself as one of the greatest musical icons ever. It becomes evident this isn't your regular movie of the sort when we see Taron Egerton's iteration of John float and go through many fantastical experiences that just can't happen, unfortunately. Director Dexter Fletcher and writer Lee Hall took many other liberties to adjust the story of John's life to the artistic vision behind the project, and the result works perfectly, even if ignoring or changing some of the events.
