Known as the “King of Pop,” Jackson became a defining figure in global pop culture.ETimes has rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars. The review points out both strengths and shortcomings."One may argue that a biopic must not be a voyeuristic look at the personal life but be a celebration of the artist’s art. The film feels wanting in that aspect as well. It recreates the spectacle but superficially touches upon Michael’s innovativeness in music writing.The film’s highlight is undoubtedly its lead and MJ’s nephew (his brother and band’s bassist Jermaine’s son), Jaafar Jackson. From the dance moves and the moonwalk to his gait, voice, smile, and expressions, everything is pitch-perfect. Equally impressive is Juliano Valdi, who plays a young Michael and gets the nuances right. Colman Domingo as the belt-brandishing, ruthless father deserves mention. Nia Long as his mother Katherine, KeiLyn Durrel Jones as his security and best friend, and Miles Teller his attorney John Branca, deliver solid turns, too."DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
