There’s triumph on the stage, the hint of a medical emergency, the knowing glance of romance, and — because it’s Elton John — more stylish transformations that basically any other movie could compete with.
Egerton certainly looks the part, but the oversized glasses and sparkly suits no doubt help his transformation into the brilliant mind behind Your Song, Tiny Dancer and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
Directed by Dexter Fletcher, who previously guided Taron Egerton through the ski-jump drama Eddie the Eagle, Rocketman looks to hit on the expected beats on the musical journey of a rock star’s life.
