Michael Jackson biopic faces criticism

Directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jackson's nephew Jaafar, the film focuses primarily on the singer's musical rise and early years with the Jackson 5.

Critics have pointed to 'egregious omissions' regarding the sexual abuse allegations that Jackson faced in his later years.

While the movie stands out for its recreation of live performances, it has also faced a warning from a wildlife charity over its portrayal of the chimpanzee Bubbles.

Despite the controversies, the film is predicted to moonwalk to a record-breaking opening weekend at the box office.
