The release of Michael, the long-anticipated biopic about Michael Jackson, has renewed debate over how the pop icon’s legacy should be portrayed. It has also become a major box office success. Audiences appear drawn to the music, nostalgia, and a heartfelt performance that avoids the King of Pop’s darker controversies. However, critics describe it as superficial, safe, and aimless in its storytelling approach. Now Dan Reed, whose 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland centered on accusations against Jackson, has weighed in on Michael.
