- Who'll love it
- Best for people who love a true story told well and music lovers. Expect to bring it up in conversation afterwards. Liked The Last Waltz or The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 10 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
This unauthorized chronicle of Michael Jackson's career recounts the King of Pop's rise from child-star sensation to one of the best-selling recording artists of all time, a one-gloved wonder who earned his icon status through talent and innovation. But with fame and fortune came scrutiny and controversy, along with wild theories about Jackson's changing physical appearance and accusations of improper behavior at his home, Neverland Ranch.
