Ratings and reviews

A poorly constructed doco mostly filled with nutty opinions from two completely irrelevant commentators who are experts in nothing but self importance. It uses mobile phone footage for one performance, footage from a Wham! concert while talking about an Elton show from 1975, and interviews that don't align to the narrative of the content. It congratulates Nancy Reagen for her role in dealing with the AIDS epidemic (!) and apparently the drugs Elton was addicted to came in blister packs! AWFUL!

The documentary captures the essence of Elton John's evolution from a shy young man into a global superstar. It delves into the various facets of his career, from his early struggles and breakthroughs to his eventual rise to fame and lasting impact on the music industry. Through a blend of archival footage, personal interviews, and behind-the-scenes glimpses, the film provides a vivid portrayal of Elton John’s journey.
