No one ever saw this coming. An 80’s icon of film and television being struck down by early onset Parkinson’s in his late 20s. Even more astonishing is the emergence of that same icon like a phoenix from his own fire, who would go on to be a figurehead and ardent campaigner for funding across the globe. Buckle up, because Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie brings all that and more to Sundance, with this candid close-up on his life as it stands.
Directed by Dave Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth), this cleverly conceived documentary uses a combination of stock footage and family movies to bring things to life. With exclusive access to behind-the-scenes audition tapes and onset segues, this film pulls together strands of his story effortlessly.
