The film succeeds because Taron Egerton makes a fantastic Elton John - both in manner and singing - and the song choices, and the scenes around them, work wonders. Sure, it's not a traditional biopic as much of what is portrayed is pure fantasy, but I think it helps, not hinders, this particular life. Add in some find support from the likes of Jamie Bell and Richard Madden and this R-rated fairytale of a life is well worth watching.
