Michael
The film
The story of Michael Jackson, one of the most influential artists the world has ever known, and his life beyond the music. His journey from the discovery of his extraordinary talent as the lead of the Jackson Five, to the visionary artist whose creative ambition fueled a relentless pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world, highlighting both his life off-stage and some of the most iconic performances from his early solo career.
The real review
Jaafar Jackson's performance as Michael is the one thing everyone agrees is a stunning achievement, with his uncanny portrayal carrying the entire film. Unfortunately, the story itself is widely criticized for feeling overly sanitized and thin, avoiding the more complex and controversial chapters of his life. While Colman Domingo as Joseph Jackson and the depiction of iconic performances get some praise, the overall reception is sharply divided, with many finding it a superficial portrait that doesn't live up to its legendary subject.
