Anecdotes
In a 2023 interview with Headliner Chicago, Davis Guggenheim spoke about how the spirit of Michael J. Fox is on display in the movie despite his physical struggles: "I think it's a little shocking at first when you see him now. We have a scene at the movie's beginning where he's walking to his office. You know he struggles to walk and not fall, and it's hard to see someone who grew up in your living room. He moved so well, like one of the things in Retour vers le futur (1985), where he slid across the hood of the DeLorean. To see him how he is now, I think it's really hard, but RIGHT AWAY, you see that sparkle in his eye, and you forget about it because he's still so charismatic. And funny. The best part of this movie is that there's so much laughter. There's so much joy in it. Even in the hard spots."

Gaffes
During the flashback to Michael's childhood, an AT&T wall phone was shown hanging on the kitchen wall. Michael was in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. AT&T is an American telephone company, not operating in Canada. Edmonton would have been Alberta Government Telephones - AGT.

Informative and entertaining bio of a superstar's charm and strength.

From his hit series "Family Ties" through the iconic Back to the Future and beyond, the 80's diminutive Michael J. Fox has been an impish cultural giant. With the onset of Parkinson's disease, diagnosed in 1991 and revealed in 1998, he has been known as a fearless fighter, along with other famous sufferers such as Mohammed Ali and Kathryn Hepburn.

An informative new documentary Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, streaming on Apple TV+, is a blend of original footage showing his meteoric rise to fame and subtle re-enactment. In all, it shows his charm and his determination to expose the disease to needed research by campaigning for funding.

Director David Guggenheim and editor Michael Harte have seamlessly spliced publicity B-roll, videos, stock footage and a few narrators to create a convincing bio about Michael's rise and fall and permanent rise again to national recognition. This doc is as much a powerful testimony to the threat of Parkinson's as it is a testament to the will power of a former super star to fight it.

Because Fox is eminently watchable even under the sway of the disease, this doc is entertaining and informative. He asks for no pity but gains enormous respect for facing reality and fighting for happiness.
