What people are saying
Updated nightlyThe reaction leans positive, and Jaafar Jackson as Michael is the main reason people stay on board, with the acting getting real credit. The film follows his rise from Jackson Five child star to solo megastar, mixing life away from the stage with big performance moments, and that star power is what makes it work. The story and pacing are the weak spots, with people feeling it plays safe and drags when it's trying to feel epic. The visuals and humor get more goodwill, so it lands as a watchable tribute carried by the performances rather than a fully satisfying biography.
