Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie review: Beloved actor's vulnerability and spirit make for a moving documentary
This is interspersed with a B-plot that follows Fox today, in his struggles with physical therapy and in the interactions with his loving wife and children. Cynically, this juxtaposition would be designed to evoke pity in its audience, but in practice, Fox comes across as a man at peace with himself and his situation, perhaps for the first time in his life.
Ultimately, the experience hinges on Fox’s unfiltered, charismatic narration of his own story, where he spends his life in character roles attempting to escape his vulnerability. Eventual disability notwithstanding, Fox’s stardom-fueled egotism and eventual fall back to earth are not so unusual in how celebrity is usually conceived, butis a solid reminder of why Fox is a magnetic camera presence and why he continues to be beloved, both as an actor and an activist for Parkinson’s research.
