Critic Reviews for Michael Jackson's Journey From Motown to Off the Wall
All Critics (14) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (1)
Of course Jackson isn't here to discuss matters for himself, and Lee's documentary is, ultimately, enjoyably nostalgic, but says little more than what we already know.
This bouncily entertaining doc may boast only a notch more formal ambition than a very well-assembled "Behind the Music" special, but is no less essential than Lee's first MJ opus, the excellent "Bad 25."
Lee keeps his celebration smart and not soppy. He gets you excited, makes you feel the moment, see what was new in it, why it mattered.
He's made a fan's film, and he's happy to let us know it, shouting out questions from behind the camera and cackling loudly when he particularly likes an answer.
A lovingly assembled appreciation of the key transitional album in the late artist's career.
It's just plain bursting with joy - it's a documentary that feels like the music it's about.
Audience Reviews for Michael Jackson's Journey From Motown to Off the Wall
A great documentary on one of the best pop albums in history. Spike Lee shows us and reminds me how much of a genius Michael Jackson was. Great to watch.
