Spike Lee is standing firmly behind the Michael biopic.
During a recent interview, Spike revealed that he has already seen the film twice and says he absolutely loved it.
The movie has faced criticism from some viewers who questioned why it does not focus heavily on the sexual abuse allegations that surrounded Michael Jackson later in life.
Spike pushed back on those complaints, explaining that the film’s timeline ends in 1988, years before those accusations surfaced publicly.
He said critics are asking the movie to include events that simply fall outside the story the filmmakers chose to tell.
Actor Colman Domingo, who portrays Joe Jackson in the film, also explained that the movie focuses on Michael’s upbringing, his family dynamic, and his journey toward becoming a global superstar.
The biopic aims to explore the making of Michael Jackson as an artist rather than cover every chapter of his personal life.
As debate continues online, excitement for the movie remains high among fans eager to see the story brought to the big screen.
