If you wanted to self-delude you could tell yourself that this flash-and-dance number from Dexter Fletcher‘s Rocketman is mostly uncut — a single dazzling shot. It certainly seems that way from the 1:10 mark (once Taron Egerton appears from an opening in the fence) until he retreats into the pub and joins his bandmates around the 3:40 mark. 150 seconds!
It’s more likely three or four shots seamlessly blended together, but at least an energetic effort was made to persuade otherwise.
Any way you slice it this is easily the best sequence in the entire film.
