The film follows the fantastical journey of transformation from shy piano prodigy Reginald Dwight into international superstar Elton John.

Critics Views

“A sequin-encrusted delight. On paper it reads like a by-the-book biopic; on screen it explodes with the kind of colour and energy that only Elton John himself could invoke.” Empire

“If there’s one thing Rocketman does have in common with Bohemian Rhapsody, it’s a commanding central performance.” Time Out

“As with its beloved subject and his enormous catalogue of multiplatinum earworms, the movie’s familiarity turns out to be crucial to its charm.” Los Angeles Times

“Rather than revealing much about the man behind the music, Rocketman seems more content to hover inside of it, exploring his unique synthesis of blues, rock, and every other relevant genre as a natural extension of his personality.” Indiewire
