An unflinching, witty and self-deprecating documentary, STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie lets us in. TaraDBennett's review:

that encompass his career, family life and living with Parkinson’s Disease. All of which begs the question: What’s left for a documentary to tell about his life?from director Davis Guggenheim . The intimate yet spritely doc gives the 61-year-old actor the opportunity to share with audiences an unflinching, witty and self-deprecating look at his life up to this point.

. Fox narrates his own life story here, much like he does with his books. This particular moment, in a random hotel after a night of partying, sets the stage for everything that will lead up to this life-changing day, and all that will follow. Guggenheim then introduces Fox on-camera in the now, at his most physically impacted by his disease—yet without losing his sharp wit or journeyman’s attitude about the cards fate has dealt him.

The act of being still, and Fox’s life-long problem with achieving that state, is the main thesis of the documentary. Fox and Guggenheim go back to the actor’s humble beginnings in Canada as a very short kid who outran his bullies until he discovered drama class. Using a wealth of family pictures, yearbook photos and early footage from his first roles in Canadian TV projects,immerses us in Fox’s life as a rabblerouser in his own house.

And Guggenheim is an effective unseen-but-heard provocateur while interviewing Fox. He pushes him to be more candid or revealing about things the actor mostly avoids, like exactly how much pain he’s in most days. However, Fox is not an evasive subject. He’s undeterred, explaining and showing the ravages of the disease on his body. But it’s never played for sympathy. If anything, Fox reverts back to the runner of his youth when it comes to dwelling on his disease.
