Sometimes surreal and hagiographic biopic of Elton John, which actually provides a lot of information that I didn't know - well, I'm not a huge fan, though the film did remind how good some of the songs are. I didn't know he had a long term lyrics partner...almost the only person he doesn't seem to have fallen out with. If we are to believe the film he was an absolute musical genius from an early age, but I don't know if we are to believe it or not.
Sort of unusual in that there's almost nothing of the years of struggle to make it, which all look really easy...only the going off the rails with drink and drugs after he's made it.
