17 ROCKETMAN

Director: Dexter Fletcher

After the success of Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman presents a similarly full-blooded account of the spectacular rise of Reg Dwight from Pinner as he becomes Elton John, racing through his ’70s imperial phase and, eventually, an equally spectacular crash back to earth. Taron Egerton offers a game take on Elton, while Jamie Bell, as Bernie Taupin, provides low-key counterpart.
