Bohemian Rhapsody - Movie Review

I’ve been wanting to watch this movie for a while, and now that I have finally been able to do it, I must say I was delighted throughout.

I liked it a lot, considered it time very well-spent, and for days I couldn’t get the music out of my head (even more so than I usually have to try, given how good it is).

It Wasn't Exactly Like That

Like many others, I was bothered by the lack of precision in some of the timing and dates, including things everyone knows, but even so, they dared to change them!

Alas, I can understand that they made some changes out of convenience for the unfolding of the movie’s story.

Is This The End?

Back to it: I was enjoying the movie a lot when it suddenly ended abruptly. “Is there something wrong with my Internet?” - I found myself pondering. “Where is the rest of the story?” - I wondered, whilst I was left really feeling like a huge chunk of it was missing.

Later, when my disappointment had simmered down, I think I understood that they mostly wanted to celebrate Freddie’s (Rami Malek) life, not so much his death, so they ended the movie with a focus on a very big moment in his professional and private life. That’s fine.

What I can’t understand, nor really accept, is the omission of his relationship with Jim Hutton (Aaron McCusker). He appears almost like an extra here, whereas he had lived for many years with Mercury as his husband. Why did they make it this way?

Never Meet Your Idol

As a big fan of Queen, especially Freddie Mercury, it hurts to see him portrayed as so needy… We are sitting there watching and thinking, “Don’t be such a fool!” But, this is one of those things that is impossible to know, for ourselves, how he really was, regardless of information pieces or documentaries, or even movies, so I can’t criticize the choice…

They certainly had their own sources on how Freddie behaved toward his closest colleagues and friends.

Ended In High Ground

Other than that, the LIVE AID event was definitely the highest point in the movie, as well as Rami Malek’s interpretation, which goes to show he honestly deserves all the awards he’s already gotten and then some!

Can Monsters Love?Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story

Netflix's Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story is not just a true crime documentary — it’s a psychological deep dive into one of the most disturbing couples in British criminal history . While the crimes are shocking, the nature of Fred and Rose’s relationship truly unsettles. Were they in love? Or was their bond something far darker? A Match Made in Hell From the moment Fred and Rose met, something clicked. But it wasn’t a love story — it was a dangerous connection built on control, abuse, and mutual cruelty. The documentary shows us how they fed off each other’s darkest urges. It wasn’t about love in the traditional sense. It was about power, domination, and shared depravity. Can Psychopaths Feel Love? This is the big question. Can two people with such extreme psychological disorders really feel love? Some experts believe psychopaths can feel attachment, but not empathy — they might need someone, but not care for them in the way most of us understand....

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...

Adolescence: A Mirror We Can’t Look Away From

How Can a 13-Year-Old Commit Murder? What was once an absurd, unthinkable question is the central premise of Adolescence , Netflix ’s latest British drama. From the first episode, the show grips you with its raw portrayal of youth violence. It pushes us to confront an unsettling reality—children, barely teenagers, are capable of unimaginable acts. But Adolescence does not sensationalize crime; rather, it dissects it , laying bare the complex web of factors that lead to such a moment. It’s Not About the Victim Unlike many crime dramas, Adolescence does not dwell on the victim. Instead, it forces us to ask: Who is the perpetrator? Who is his family? Who are his friends? What kind of environment produces a child capable of killing? The show wrestles with these haunting questions, exposing the uncomfortable truth that the killer does not come from an easily identifiable “dangerous” background. His family is normal—too normal. This leads us to the most disturbing though...
