Aroview: Striking rehearsal footage of Michael Jackson's highly anticipated world tour is gathered for this fitting concert film, a grand eulogy to the late, great popstar.

Works surprisingly well as a cohesive show, aided by Jacko's insistence in making the live versions "sound like the record", while his perfectionist streak is fascinatingly evident in his working process. Controversies be damned, it's Michael the musical prodigy that gets the last, triumphant word.
