Swish Edition
The new “Michael” biopic from director Antoine Fuqua and writer John Logan—produced and approved by the (majority of ) the Jackson family—is genuinely a feel-good, sing-along inspiring ride. However, even though it’s the biggest film opening of 2026 so far, it is not a hit with professional critics; many have pointed out misaligned timelines and the blaring omission of key people, events, and controversies that made up a significant part of the King of Pop’s first 30 years. That aside, we enjoyed the film, and agree the casting and acting are spot on, especially when it comes to...
