Sundance Film Festival 2023: 20 Movies You Need To Know About
20. Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie
Far from the frothy, fawning documentary profile you might expect, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie offers up a warts-and-all look at the beloved Back to the Future star, reflecting on his professional highs and personal lows.
Fox, having now lived with Parkinson's disease for over 30 years, allows filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) to create a vanity-free portrayal of himself, capturing his day-to-day difficulties managing his illness while maintaining an admirable appreciation for everything he has.
Between Fox's sheer infectious charm and the superbly shot recreations of watershed moments in the actor's life, this is a rare celebrity documentary that splits the difference quite brilliantly between being entertaining and informative. Michael J. Fox fans simply can't miss it.
Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie will release on Apple TV+ later this year.
