Dan Reed's devastating documentary about Michael Jackson and pedophilia is not an easy watch, but it is an essential one.
March 03, 2019
While Jackson has been dead for almost a decade, Robson and Safechuck aren't looking for any kind of retribution in coming forward; they're just looking to be heard.

Not a particularly imaginative documentary, in that it sticks to a straightforward narrative, and, in its empathetic approach, doesn't bother trying to include views from "the other side."

Watching these interviews, I don't doubt anyone's sincerity.

A riveting story of childhood sexual abuse and its devastating effects on survivors and families.

The circumstances surrounding Jackson and his relationships with young boys have always been unclear. But today's climate allows Leaving Neverland to ask questions at length -- and provide some answers.

This film asks us what we really knew, what we can ever really know about our idols. There are always doors to be closed, behind which we know nothing.

As we're learning more and more with cases of abusive predators, we need to listen more carefully because the abuser often has the power and platform to yell louder. At its best, Leaving Neverland tries to balance the volume.
February 27, 2019
What makes Leaving Neverland an unusually sensitive portrait of abuse recovery is that it's more interested in what was, rather than what should be.

Leaving Neverland's greatest advantage - its focus on the two men's personal testimony - is also its biggest weakness, as no one outside their families is interviewed by the filmmakers to provide a wider context.
