Elton John(Taron Egerton) enters an rehab session and talks about his life in flashback including growing up in the 50's London as Reginald Dwight with an absent father Stanley (Steve Mackintosh), an cold and unaffectionate mother Sheila (Dallas Bryce Howard) and an loving grandmother Ivy(Gemma Jones), starts learning to play piano, starting to perform locally, performing with American soul musicians, changing his name to Elton John, meeting Bernie Taupin(Jamie Bell), having great success as well as the issues he would with drugs, alcohol and many others. It's FANTASTIC, BRILLIANT and SUPERB with FANTASTIC and Brilliant by Taron Egerton, Dallas Bryce Howard, Jamie Bell, Steve Mackintosh, Gemma Jones, Richard Madden who played ELton's former manager and lover John Reid and Stephen Graham as music publisher Dick James. It's directed by Dexter Fletcher and produced by Adam Bohling, David Furnish(Elton's husband), David Reid and Matthew Vaughn and also Lee Hall did the screenplay. The music is awesome which Taron does an Fantastic job doing singing which he does it Brilliantly as well as the others actors and the CD soundtrack has done very well also. This was my second time seeing it and I loved it tonight as I did an month when I saw it with an friend. I am giving it 5 stars and it's in the cinemas now so do yourselves an favour and SEE IT which you would love it. I know it's early to say about the Oscars but I would say that Taron Egerton should be considered for Best Actor.
