There were plenty of truths, but many things that weren't quite as they did it in the movie. The way Freddie met Brian and Roger, the way he met Mary, when he was diagnosed with HIV, just a few of the things which were not factual. Fortunately they don't detract from the movie itself. There are quite a few things on the web that lay out the actual facts, which was exciting to do after seeing it.
The revisionist history is a bit disappointing, but it did not detract from my enjoyment of the movie in any way. Having watched all seasons of Mr Robot, I was incredibly excited to see Rami Malek's performance and he did not disappoint. Neither did virtually anyone else in the cast.
I, too, watched a lot of YouTube videos before and after the movie as well as a couple of documentaries on TV. They are captivating. If you haven't yet seen the side-by-side comparison of Queen's actual Live Aid set and the performance in the movie, it is remarkable.
