Well, there are some movie errors. The biggest was Freddie telling the band he’s HIV+ before Live Aid (that’s 1985). In reality, He didn’t find out until 1987, and by most accounts he waited almost until the end to tell his band mates.

Broadly, it’s an accurate film and celebrates the band vs the sleazier side. By contrast, every movie about Karen Carpenter is about eating disorders with a smattering of music. If I want a PSA I’ll frequent PBS.

Agreed. Wow, I didn’t realize that about the movies about Karen Carpenter. I won’t waste my time!
