I think its marmite, you'll love it or you'll hate it, I liked it a lot but then I like MJ and have also had my share of thus type of religious thinking in my younger days. Its a life story shared over the course of growing through teenage years to adulthood and how western culture can conflict with the eastern culture, though fictional its presented as someones life story and I also like life stories, so its all round enjoyable film for me.

Many people of our generation relate to MJ when it comes to their childhood. This movie makes perfect sense how sujdden nostalgia hits real life. RIP King of Pop <3
The film is complete work casting direction Montague everything was prefect every actor was suitable for his role or we can say that actors made themselves perfect for their roles maged was the best actor in this show malek showed a confused teenage escaping from his empty life and his cruel father trying to find hims self in music and dancing fishawy wasn't able to present best he can the role was very short that i until the end and after end couldn't understand what happen after this his transform
the film was a good chance but the writer couldn't make best use of it
A wonderful movie in every sense of the word
It shows the volatility of young people and their attempt to be close to religion.
