TIFF REVIEW: BAD 25
Until I saw this film on the TIFF schedule, I didn’t even know it existed. But damn am I glad it does. Bad 25 is a fantastic documentary – a Spike Lee Joint – that takes you on an intimate tour behind the scenes during the making of Michael Jackson’s Bad record and world tour.

It really is a comprehensive musical education. Not only are you shown never-before-seen footage of Jackson as he records hits like “Smooth Criminal”, “The Way You Make Me Feel” and “Man In The Mirror”, Lee also interviews all the key players who contributed to the record’s unprecedented success.

The film contextualizes the importance of the record, one that I own and love but had no idea was as important as it was to Jackson’s career - coming off the mega success of Thriller, the fact that Bad produced a record breaking five number one singles was simply unimaginable.

You’re also taken behind the scenes of his world tour and all the music videos made for the record. Sheryl Crow relives what it was like performing “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” on stage with Michael, Martin Scorsese talks candidly about directing the video for Bad, Michael’s choreographers walk you through the inception of his now iconic dance moves. If you’re a Michael Jackson fan you will eat this up.
