The film traces his journey from his early days with the Jackson 5 to his rise as the “King of Pop.”ETimes gave the film a rating of 2.5 stars out of 5 and our review reads, "Michael charts his journey from the Gary, Indiana, hood to the Encino mansion through the lens of his father’s exploitation and mistreatment. Besides that, it feels more reverential and sanitised rather than an honest retelling of his life. It establishes him as a sensitive soul right from the child lost in the world of Peter Pan and Neverland and who makes a differently-abled concert goer feel special. His love for animals (pet chimpanzee Bubbles, llama Louie, a giraffe, etc) and empathy for people and children are magnified while how the alleged addiction to pain medication began and insecurity about his looks are only glossed over."
