Join Nathan for his solo review of Michael, Antoine Fuqua's long-awaited Michael Jackson biopic starring Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo, and Nia Long. Nathan breaks down Jaafar's extraordinary performance, the film's clear-eyed portrayal of Joe Jackson's abuse, and the unavoidable question every reviewer has to answer honestly: how do you rate a film about a man whose legacy you love and whose later life you can no longer look at the same way? This is the most personal review Nathan has written. Don't miss it.
