Bohemian Rhapsody is a 2018 biographical film (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biographical_film) about Freddie Mercury (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Mercury) , lead singer of the British rock band Queen (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_(band)) .
This scene, when Queen first meets with their band manager-to-be John Reid, stirred a lot of criticism on the interwebs about how bad the editing of this film is:

Let's talk about it.
The film follows the singer's life from when he joins the band in 1970 to their 1985 Live Aid (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Aid) performance at the former Wembley Stadium (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wembley_Stadium_(1923)) in London (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London) . A British-American venture, it was produced by 20th Century Fox (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_Century_Fox) , New Regency (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Regency) , GK Films (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GK_Films) , and Queen Films, with Fox serving as distributor. Directed by Bryan Singer (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Singer) , it was written by Anthony McCarten (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_McCarten) , and produced by Graham King (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_King) and Queen manager Jim Beach (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Beach) . It stars Rami Malek (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rami_Malek) as Mercury, with Lucy Boynton (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Boynton) , Gwilym Lee (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwilym_Lee) , Ben Hardy (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Hardy_(actor)) , Joe Mazzello (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Mazzello) , Aidan Gillen (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aidan_Gillen) , Tom Hollander (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Hollander) , Allen Leech (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Leech) , and Mike Myers (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Myers) in supporting roles.
