I have to admit I gasped in anticipation when I saw the release announcement for the first teaser for Michael, the first big-screen biopic attempt of Michael Jackson’s life. There’s so much that can go so wrong with this (the family and estate is heavily involved) yet so right...
Die My Love is a scene-exploding showcase for Jennifer Lawrence, portraying a first-time mother unraveling in her isolation.
