Michael Jackson, the greatest entertainer who ever lived, makes his mark with his first solo album as an adult — Off The Wall — but to tell the story of this album you have to go back to the beginning. This film, directed by Spike Lee, starts with a glimpse into Michael’s evolution from the early days as a member of the Jackson Five to the point Michael decides it is finally time to release his first solo album — featuring his own music and with him having ultimate creative control. Spike then offers an in-depth look at each of the individual tracks on this seminal album, the cultural significance of Off The Wall and the impact it continues to have on today’s artists. The individuals who were interviewed for the documentary include some of today’s most important artists, e.g., John Legend, Pharrell Williams, The Weeknd and Mark Ronson, as well as other cultural icons, such as Lee Daniels, Misty Copeland, Kobe Bryan, and L.A. Reid. It is clear that the influence of The King of Pop and Off The Wall continue to be felt today.
Director Spike Lee chronicles Michael Jackson's early rise to fame.

Not usually a Spike Lee fan, but this is really goodSpike Lee did a really fantastic job with the two documentaries, but I fear because of the recent documentary and lawsuit we will never see one based on Thriller. That would have been really interesting to watch..Score: 5/5

Good Documentary… but preachyI like Spike Lee, but the doc has a preachy tone… as if he’s trying to sell MJ and Off the Wall to people who never heard of him. The parts where MJ actually appears in historical footage, especially his younger years with the Jacksons and Jackson 5, are priceless. What I like about the doc revolves around MJ’s appearances, Quincy Jones and his recording brothers and buddies. A little too much talking up MJ's greatness… that is signature Spike Lee… a director who lacks restraint when it is most needed. With a softer touch, this doc would have soared. MJ was such a lovely artist and moving figure in music. We miss him..Score: 4/5
EhhhIt didn’t explain the songs very much..no in depth with Bruce Swedien..no outtakes?..Kobe?.. people who had absolutey nothing to do with Michael or the album were giving opinions. . An opportunity wasted...Score: 2/5
