Leaving Neverland

Leaving Neverland will change you. Enter at your own risk.

Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, a megastar adored worldwide. To some painfully average families, though, he professed to be lonely. This movie is an interview with a few of those few.

We start from the beginning, when Michael made connections through affection. How could those chosen say no? Out of everyone on the planet, he found them to be special. As the story continues, we learn how Michael used this and other techniques to his advantage; two interviewees recount childhood tales of what can only be considered sexual and emotional abuse.

This is a patient movie. It does not judge, it simply listens. And while it runs over four hours, such length is necessary to do (at least some) justice to the depth of delusion found in these relationships.
