I got chills during some of the concert scenes. True to form, my wife needed a tissue when Freddie's father finally embraced him. She cries at about half the movies we go to. She's a sentimental sort. I love her.

Great film, despite any historical inaccuracies. They were lost on me and would have been meaningless even if I knew what was deemed to be factually incorrect.
