Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie is a cinematic masterpiece that captures the essence of Fox’s life with Parkinson’s disease. The film is a dazzling collage of interviews, dramatizations, and snappily chosen film and TV clips that provide a poignant glimpse into the star’s life. The documentary is in constant motion, just like the older Fox, and knows when to stop, pause, and take it all in. The themes of love, persistence, addiction, optimism, and hope are a true testament to overcoming adversity. The film is both heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time, and I think that’s by design. Fox’s 1.21-gigawatt personality shines through, and it’s hard not to like him even more after watching this film. Overall, Still is a must-see for anyone who wants to be uplifted and inspired.
If you’re looking for a movie that will make you laugh, cry, and feel inspired all at once, then Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie is the one for you. Critics are raving about this documentary that takes you on a journey through Fox’s life, from his early days as a young actor to his current battle with Parkinson’s disease. While some may find the film gimmicky at times, it’s hard not to be moved by Fox’s 1.21-gigawatt personality and his commitment to family. So grab some popcorn, sit back, and get ready to be inspired by one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors.

Asked why he wants to continue to tell his story, he says, “I love my mind and I love the places it takes me and I just don’t want that to get cut short.” Anyone who watches this uplifting film will share that feeling.

The unforgettable documentary demonstrates realism and emotion, while never going too far down the rabbit hole of sadness, finding the light in Fox’s life as well.

It’s hard not to like Fox, and the film only deepens that by detailing what he’s overcome, his acceptance of his current challenges and commitment to family.
