Michael

CriticsCritics: 39
AudienceAudience: 7.5

From his early days as a remarkably gifted young performer in a family group, a future pop superstar pursues a solo career and an ambition to become the world’s biggest entertainer. The story follows his rise through music, family pressures, life away from the stage, and recreations of several memorable performances.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like music biopics such as Bohemian Rhapsody or Elvis and want hit songs and recreated performances; Not for you if you expect a deeply probing, balanced account of a complicated life.
