Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie is an American documentary directed by David Guggenheim. It covers the life of actor Michael J. Fox who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease over 30 years ago in 1991. The film is 95 minutes long and can be viewed on Apple TV.
Still is moving, funny and clear-eyed. It puts a human face behind the tag, “Parkinson’s.” One does ask, however, is MJF a best case scenario in that he has the means to get the best medical care as well as unlimited occupational and physical therapy?
The Wikipedia entry on MJF has a good section his Parkinson’s disease trajectory.
We are curious to see how neurologists with a special interest in movement disorders view this film.
