As far as biopics go, ones about popular musical artists can be tough to get right. We’ve all seen movies about pop stars that end up in “Behind the Music” territory or are so rigidly focused on hitting every beat of the artist’s story that they lose any creativity they might have otherwise had.
But when filmmakers get them right, well … they just sing. With narrative approaches that reflect the character of the musicians themselves, talented performers who throw themselves into recreating music icons of bygone years, and the rare ability to make famous figures feel fresh and new, these music biopics are the cream of the crop — and they’re all available for you to stream.
