With grace and honesty, ‘Rocketman’ maps out the journey Elton John has taken to become a soul man — and provides refreshing LGBT visibility along the way. There has always been an air of larger-than-life to Elton John. And Rocketman doesn’t shy away from every important aspect that makes Elton John who he is, including his sexuality and whom he has loved. In contrast, the queer elements in Rocketman, which includes nudity, are realistic but also affectionate, never sensationalist or played for laughs. Who can be a soul man, after all, without a soul?
