Charting his rise from shy but musically gifted Reginald Dwight to renowned, if unlikely, global rock star, director Dexter Fletcher doesn't shy away from depicting Elton's worst moments, from diva-like outbursts to self-destructive behaviour and addiction.

This adventure-comedy lampoons the 'gritty remake' trend so hard it comes back around as an earnest endeavour, with an older Dora (Isabela Moner, who delivers a flawlessly perky performance) returning to civilisation after years of exploring the wilderness with her parents – only to face the rigours of American high school culture.
