It's available to watch now on Apple TV+.
takes a unique and cinematic approach to the life of its subject. It ends up being part-biopic, part-documentary and feels fully in line with the spirit of Michael J Fox's life.
Those sitting down expecting it to be a heartbreaking story about Fox's battle with Parkinson's disease won't find that here. Fox has no interest in people pitying him or reflecting on how 'brave' he's being; he's always been an entertainer and that's just what his life story is going to be.is never less than an engaging watch, you'll wish it ended up digging into more of Fox's life in the way a documentary usually would.
It's very much in Fox's own words as his is the only 'talking head' interview throughout, but this isn't a straightforward documentary. We get dramatic recreations of key moments in his life, alongside cleverly-edited archival footage that is repurposed to look like it was filmed as part of Fox's life, rather than one of his TV or movie roles.
We do also get fairly brief insights into Fox's personal life throughout, such as his physical therapy following injuries. Like Fox's to-camera interview, they're evidence that he has no interest in a 'woe is me' story. When we see him fall over in the street after turning to say hello to someone, he quickly jokes:"You knocked me off my feet."There are still hard-to-watch and emotional sequences, such as when Fox has to pause his interview as his symptoms flare up.
It's not helped by the fact that the movie features very little of Fox's career after he revealed his Parkinson's diagnosis or even his subsequent charity work. Much like Fox talks about how he was always on the move, the documentary feels in a rush to wrap things up.ends up being one of those rare movies you wish were longer so that you could learn more.
