Michael
Discover the making of a king.
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.
Worth watching for sure, but don’t expect the whole story. The acting is great across the board, the performances are convincing, and there’s a lot here to enjoy. It’s polished, emotional, and very well made, even if it plays things a little safer than I would have liked. PRETTY GOOD
Directed by Antoine Fuqua
Starring Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo, Nia Long, Juliano Krue Valdi, KeiLyn Durrel Jones
