The Elton John biopic “Rocketman” just received a long, wild standing ovation in Cannes at its premiere.

On social media, guests and press are buzzing about star Taron Egerton as Sir Elton. “He’s the real,” reads one Tweet.

There is general approval of Dexter Fletcher’s musical fantasy about Elton, Bernie Taupin and friends. During the screening, when Taron finished singing “Your Song,” there was applause apparently.
