The group quickly gets label attention, due mainly to the vocal chops and stage presence of their lead singer, who has redubbed himself “Freddie Mercury,” much to the chagrin of his Parsi parents.

As a fan of Queen, I felt energized by Bohemian Rhapsody and even learned some things I didn’t know, like that Freddy Mercury (Rami Malek) was so funny or that he was a cat person. Sorry ...
