Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: There are reports that legal complications prevented the filmmakers from using previously-shot scenes delving into accusations against Michael, and there are rumors that a second film will be made about the last 20 years of his life. But that speculation can’t absolve Michael of showing all the positive aspects of Michael Jackson’s life and not even touching any of the negative ones.
- Allison Hazlett-Rose @ FlickDirect
- Excerpt: A powerful and intimate portrait of the King of Pop that resonates beyond the music.
- [New] | Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: As a glossy celebration of an unmatched pop icon, this biopic will satisfy fans. As a window into the person behind the legend, it keeps the viewer deep “in the closet.”
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: Whatever you think of him personally, Michael Jackson was undeniably one of show business’ greatest ever performers, possibly the greatest in my lifetime. It sure would be awesome if someone made a movie about him.
- [New] | Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: If you’re a fan of Michael Jackson’s music then you’ll love this film. It’s like experiencing one of his concerts!
- Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
- Excerpt: It is hard to see this film as anything but continuing the family’s efforts to make money from Michael’s talent. At the end we wonder whether he would see this as just another attempt to profit from his legacy.

- [New] | Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: If the film is captivating at times, it’s thanks to the music of the King of Pop and the excellent performance of Jaafar Jackson. The production itself—the direction, the script—is, unfortunately, nothing special.
