Absolutely sensational. Unique: script, performances (especially Owen Cooper as Jamie in Episode 3), direction (Philip Barantini). Words cannot convey the scale of ambition and complexity involved in filming each episode as a single shot. One quibble: why does it stop suddenly after Episode 4? Can we expect more episodes at a future date? I do hope so.

Tedious, pretentious and self-indulgent.

Loved it. Elton must be thrilled to see his story told so magically, vibrantly, energetically, colourfully. Taron Egerton is a force of nature as he releases his inner rockstar.
