This documentary may not have been treading new ground regarding Michael J. Fox's history BUT the way it was edited and presented was outstanding. Wholeheartedly recommended.

I loved this documentary. Watching Michael go from his early days of struggling to make ends meet to his breakout roles of Family Ties and Back to the Future and the heartbreaking discovery of his illness was fascinating, inspiring, and most of all, hopeful. The editing in this film was superb. Whenever Michael would tell a story, we'd hear his voiceover and the scene would be a seamless combination of old footage with a current Michael stand-in, with music to fit the mood. The segments with his family and his physical therapists gave further insight into his life and relationships. His singular wit and charm shined through the entire production, and I found myself feeling happier once the credits rolled. Highly recommended!

:heart:x8 This was a very interesting documentary. Especially since my father also had Parkinson's. It was interesting to see how they pointed out his left hand tremors in his movie and tv show work. He hid it all really really well. This is definitely worth a watch for several reasons. Maybe you know someone who has Parkinson's Disease. Maybe you just want to learn more about Parkinson's Disease. Or maybe you're just a fan of Michael J Fox. How I rate: 1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time 4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this 7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too 9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

Brilliantly edited between standard doc style re-enactments mixed with Michael J. Fox film and tv footage while giving real insight to the day to day faced by the person behind it all.

In the 1980s, actor Michael J. Fox burst onto the entertainment scene as one of the decade’s mega-stars with the success of his hit TV show Family Ties and a string of popular movies, most notably the iconic sci-fi comedy, “Back to the Future” (1985). Before long, he was seemingly everywhere a More

Now this is how you do a documentary about illness! Clearly this is a man with considerable skill in front of a camera, but his general demeanour and willingness to reflect on the drawbacks and positives of his Parkinson's Disease is revelatory and engaging. Using his highly successful Hollywood car More

An AMAZINGLY well done perspective of Parisians Disease as it impacts a person and changes their life forever.

I related this film to a close personal friend diagnosed with the same disabling disease. Over the course of time he opted in for a special surgery that implants two devices in the body. More
