Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie
2023
*****
Director: Davis Guggenheim
Cast:

Due to his small stature and youthful looks, Michael J. Fox became a comedy star in the 1980s playing teenage characters on TV and in the Back to the Future trilogy. His booming career took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the age of 30. Davis Guggenheim's warts-and-all documentary is funny and moving. Fox has faced some difficult moments in his career and private life, but he comes out of it all with his sense of humour intact. His story is told through raw interviews and brilliantly selected clips
from the actor's films and sitcoms Family Ties (1982-1988) and Spin City (1996-2000).
