‘Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie’ is the Best Nostalgic, Endearing, and Uplifting Doc You’ll See This Year

Davis Guggenheim encapsulates a legendary man and his career.

I’m not the biggest Back to the Future fan out here. In fact, I’d argue that I’m not even one. As a kid, I watched the trilogy so many times (not necessarily because I loved them so much but because they were constantly on TV with nothing better to choose) in the 90s that I eventually became utterly bored by them. I couldn’t stand Teen Wolf at such a young age, either. Those two movies (especially for children) were the ones to sell you on Michael J. Fox. So I hadn't paid attention to his career and the films he was in until I learned about his Parkinson's disease. From then on, in a slow but steady trajectory, I've become an admirer of the man behind the bigger-than-life actor persona.

Now, I can confidently say that I'm a fan of Michael J. Fox today — not Marty McFly, not the actor, but the 61-year-old family man who kept his spirit intact while fighting a debilitating and demoralizing illness for over three decades.
