I do not supose the words of young men are fake. In fact, it do not represents testimony about child sexual abuse but a not fair tentative of destroy of the name of a great artist. After decades, it must be a sort of revelation. And, unfortunately, except the angry, nothing works. A genius, a magnificent artist, an unique personality changing the music industry of the XX century. In strange way, at the first sigh, it is a not a film about a crime, abuses or too late testimonies, but about the precise reflection of our world. My opinion- Michael Jackson was, like his victims, a victim himself. Easy to see it as propaganda against a great artist or as support for discover ordinary facts near you. And about loneliness and power and succes slice. The testimonies are about a demi-god and his fascinating universe. About fame, about friendship, about children perceptions, about the honesty to yourself and its high price. It is a large fresco about facts near us. But the film, scene by scene becomes be more than accusation against MJ. And the film could create a inner conflict very terrible for a MJ admirer. I admitt, I saw and I see him as innocent. The first temptation is to be a defender or a critic of Michael Jackson. Overall, well worth seeing and very sad.especially since we STILL are a society infatuated with celebrities.so much so that you wonder how many other heinous crimes are being committed today by the rich and famous. Despite the length of the film, it is well worth watching.particularly for audiences old enough to understand the film and appreciate it.
One thing I'd delete are the huge number of short made using drones.I have never seen a movie use so many shots and eliminating some of them would have worked better.
In fact, I think it would have made the picture stronger and more compact. It runs four hours.and is broken into two parts.and, an hour could have been deleted with no negative impact on the film. A strange man sleeping with little totally normal! However, I also should point out that although hearing the two victims of abuse talking was revealing and compelling, the film itself was overly long.
After all, Jackson openly admitted to having slept with many, many children.and he contended that it was all innocent. As far as the film goes, it is quite revealing though no huge surprises here. Sad.but predictable in a world that is gaga over celebrities. In other words, they aren't really voting on the quality of the review but the subject matter of the film. I strongly suspect many of the NOT HELPFULS are given by people who didn't even watch the film. So, it's not surprising that most of the reviews of this documentary have nearly as many HELPFULS as NOT HELPFULS. "Finding Neverland" is a documentary that fans of Michael Jackson would never watch nor want to watch.such is the devotion to celebrity in this world.
