"Michael", a biopic about Michael Jackson, is officially happening.

Can someone tell me whether there is explicit violence in the movie? I am quite sensitive to domestic violence and wouldn't want to see it on a big movie screen.

Besides his music,🎶 Michael Jackson has left us another precious gift, his son Michael Jackson Jr. (Prince).🤗
Michael Jackson is smiling down from Heaven😇 and is so...very PROUD of Prince. 😍
Prince is more than ready to take over the Michael Jackson Legacy and the Michael Jackson Estate from John Branca.
I suspect Prince is, now, the one who holds the Jackson family together. God Bless and Protect Prince Jackson.🙏🏼

What happens and when:
Joe beats Michael with a belt near the beginning. After they come home from the first show. Takes maybe 5 second or bit more.

From memory, around minutes 7-9 are not safe. There are also scenes after that where continuation of the physical abuse is implied but not shown. Take care of yourself! ❤️‍🩹

Although the violence and Joe itself is still quite soft compared to what is considered normal in films and television today.

Sometimes / for some people a hint / suggestion can be (nearly) as bad as very openly shown violence, because the brain fills in the gaps.

Is there anything like "soft violence"? 😅

Thank you (and the others). I guess I will then not watch it in the theater, but wait until there is a stream so I can skip that part. I would really have liked the cinema experience though. But this is the best way then.
 
The best movie I've seen in my entire life. I don't care what critics are saying. I cried during the entirety of the film.

If I had known I would have arrived 10 minutes late because that scene almost caused a panic attack for me, as wonderful as Juliano Valdi was as little Michael. OTW era begins at ~30 minutes so you could time your arrival with that in mind if you still want the big screen experience, though you might have to call and check if that's okay and the exact start time since there's usually advertisements for about 20 minutes before the movie starts 🫂
