Michael Jackson Biopic Reviews
The movie covers Jackson's life from the early Jackson 5 period through to his iconic solo career, but has drawn criticism for its 'sanitized' approach.
Many reviewers noted the film's cooperation with the Jackson estate and its avoidance of the child sex abuse allegations that dogged his later years.
Despite the controversy, Jaafar Jackson's performance has been widely praised as 'soulful' and 'dazzling.' The film is expected to be a major box office success, even as it faces accusations of being a 'transparent attempt' at rehabilitation.
