A big reason behind the film’s success is Jaafar Jackson, Michael’s real life nephew.
Many fans, however, have praised his performance, saying that he captured Michael’s voice, dance moves and stage presence in a very natural way.
Colman Domingo and Nia Long also play Michael’s parents, Joe and Katherine Jackson.
The movie has also beat other popular music biopics as well which include Bohemian Rhapsody and Straight Outta Compton.

While many people loved the film, critics are there as well with mixed opinions. Some enjoyed the music and performances, meanwhile others felt that it did not fully explore all those controversies which was surrounded by Jackson’s life.
Even so, audiences have continued to support the movie as it also brought new attention to Michael Jackson’s music.
