Thriller 40

Always worth remembering that Jackson was acquitted in life from 14 charges in a gruesome trial where 'previous bad acts' where allowed and that the FBI never found anything incriminatory in an investigation that spanned 13 years and that included three thorough surprise raids of Neverland.

These are facts and you can look them up.

The documentary is a bit all over the place in terms of structure but is emotionally resonant.

It takes us to a time when Jackson was transitioning from teen to man, or from Michael Jackson to MJ, as he put it down in paper.

It excels at documenting this passage and at bringing us back when we watched in awe his inmense talent.

It takes.
