‘Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie’ Review – One of Us
The One of Us crew Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie review this heartfelt doc about the Back to the Future actor’s fight with Parkinson’s disease.
Michael J. Fox was just a short kid from Canada with a dream of being an actor. When he turned 18, he drove to Hollywood and started chasing that dream, barely making ends meet until the stars aligned, and in 1982, he landed the career making role of Alex P. Keaton on the popular sitcom Family Ties. After winning the hearts of TV watchers, three years later, he became one of the most iconic film characters of all time by teaming up with Doc Brown, hopping in a Delorean, and traveling through time and into the hearts of millions in Back to the Future.
Practically overnight, Michael became the biggest star in the world. And then, in 1991, at the age of 29, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, the progressive neurological disorder that he has become a champion for. But this isn’t a story about a man suffering. This is the story of what happens when an incurable optimist is forced to confront an incurable disease.
