George Michael: mon histoire

I had the extreme pleasure of seeing this film this past spring when it premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival here in NYC. I have been an admirer of George Michael's work since the age of 8 and have followed his career ever since. Living in the States makes being a fan of George's (over the last decade) very difficult as our music industry favors talentless, half naked, soul selling performers over dynamic talent any day.

This film gives George Michael fans in the states the opportunity to hear him explain where he is in his life now and all that we would have never had a glimpse into otherwise. The movie follows his career from childhood to the current day. Sitting in that theater felt like going to a George Michael concert.... or having dinner with him.. or perhaps a bit of both.

Any follower of his music would have a ball seeing this documentary... and what a blast from the past it was.

I am a fan. I went to see the film with someone who is not a fan; like many others in attendance. The film was well done. It featured comments from those who know him and love him and from those who don't like him at all. He charmingly tells a story of success, personal failure and finally personal success; All the while gaining respect from those who may not like him. Lots of unseen Wham! footage.Great music. I think the film will surprise a people who think they know his story. He speaks in detail about his childhood, Wham!, confusion, Sony, insecurity, love loss, and the future.You'll find yourself saying--I had no idea. Funny, smart, Charming, sad and bittersweet. Thoroughly entertaining. Well done, George.

Hello... I had have the luck to have see this film...I'm a George Michael's "massive fan" and I really think that this film is a wonderful gift He makes to All His Fans, all around the world...and thanks to this film, young fans and all other people who love just His songs without being a "fan" can learn more on Him. I love this film because we could see George Michael as we never see Him, talking about himself quietly, with sometimes nostalgia, with fun too and with sincerity!!! It's a film for all His fans and for all people who love His songs!!!

Thank you very much for this film...I just hope now that I could see it in France!...

I've rediscovered George Michael in 2023 after seeing an old interview with him on Hard Talk about the Iraq war. I've practically listened to every interview I can listen to view for free on YouTube and still couldn't get enough.

This documentary exposes emotions and perspectives I hadn't seen before on George. I love that Mr. Michael was heavily involved making it more honest and personal. It's worth listening to the press briefing and his answers to journalists. Very insightful. Especially on his views on current and past musicians trying to break through the corporate mile.

The fact that it was made nearly 20 years ago leaves you wanting more.

I saw this film in "istanbul independent film festival". So called "!f Film festival" It was a wonderful experience to witness the life of one of the biggest voice of our time.. I'm very touched by his intimacy while he is explaining his very personal secrets. About his lover Anselmo and losing him because of his Aids illness.. And his comments about his sexuality.. His childhood.. Being famous and under public eye..

One of the most touching documentaries I have ever seen, I have always been touched by other people's life stories and this is one of best... Comments From Sting,Elton John, Mariah Carey, Pepsi & Shirley, David Austin, AndrewRidgeley, His Father and His Latest Love of his life.. .. If you have a chance to see it..Don't miss it..

I used to love George Michael but after this film I love him more than ever..
