Dan Reed, the filmmaker behind the explosive 2019 Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland, has hit out at the new biopic starring Jaafar Jackson as his uncle.
Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua, opened in theaters on Friday to a 96 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes from more than 1,000 ratings despite being widely panned by critics. The film charts The King of Pop’s rise from Jackson 5 child star to 1980s icon, ending around 1988 and omitting the later abuse allegations he denied and was acquitted of.
