It's time for another movie review on Trve. Cvlt. Fvlm! it's a bonus one as well, as Steve looks at the recently released Michael Jackson biopic, the imaginatively titled Michael.
Directed by Training Day director Antoine Fuqua, starring Jackson's own nephew Jaafar Jackson in the title role and (UH OH!) brought to you by the producers of Bohemian Rhapsody, Michael looks at the life of the biggest pop star of all time from his humble beginnings in 1966 to the height of his fame on the Bad tour in 1988. In between we get all of the usual music biopic tropes, but with Jackson's life being significantly different to those artists whose lives have recently received a cinematic retelling, it's an oddly uncanny plot that Michael hangs on. Does it work or is it more music biopic cut and past slop? You're about to find out!
