The film, which will incorporate documentary, archival and scripted elements, will recount Fox's extraordinary story in his own words -- the improbable tale of an undersized kid from a Canadian army base who rose to the heights of stardom in 1980s Hollywood. The account of Fox's public life, full of nostalgic thrills and cinematic gloss, will unspool alongside his never-before-seen private journey, including the years that followed his diagnosis, at 29, with Parkinson's disease. Intimate and honest, and produced with unprecedented access to Fox and his family, the film will chronicle Fox's personal and professional triumphs and travails, and will explore what happens when an incurable optimist confronts an incurable disease. With a mix of adventure and romance, comedy and drama, watching the film will feel like... well, like a Michael J. Fox movie.

Guggenheim makes it clear from the very beginning of this clear-eyed, honest, and cleverly edited Apple TV+ film that he understands the through-lines in Fox’s life.

Asked why he wants to continue to tell his story, he says, “I love my mind and I love the places it takes me and I just don’t want that to get cut short.” Anyone who watches this uplifting film will share that feeling.

Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie was a startlingly enjoyable and uplifting film. Fox’s charm and humour are undeniable, and Guggenheim’s techniques for bringing the past to life are remarkable. Aptly, I feel like I’ve travelled back in time with this film.

I think Michael was brave to make a documentary such as this. However, to me, it does not really do him justice. Something was missing, and at times the film dragged. Glad I watched it, as I know he has been deeply affected by his disablility. Kudos to his amazing wife, supporting Michael all these years through the trials and tribulations.
