I've never heard of Miguel or his story, and there's much of this era I know little about. I respect that some reviews (in these comments and elsewhere) point out a lack of evidence to support some EllGeeBeeTeeQueIeeAye+ themes. Still, this film doesn't appear to claim to be accurate so much as to provide a well-told story. And, when considered as a fictional story, this film has earned some banger reviews. To those pointing out inaccuracies: I promise I will not view this as a historical documentary. I'm watching this for entertainment. Remember: AMADEUS crafted an incredible story despite its wide range of historical inaccuracies.
Straight people have been claiming queer icons were straight in movies from the first until now, but once someone does it the other way around (assuming that really is the case here) you get all pissed off lmao.
