Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie is a 2023 American documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim about the life of actor Michael J. Fox and his struggle with Parkinson's disease.[1] The film premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival on January 20, and was then released on May 12, 2023, on Apple TV+.[2][3][4]

The project won the award for Best Documentary Film from the National Board of Review and received seven nominations at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, including for Outstanding Documentary Or Nonfiction Special, and five nominations (eventually winning them all) at the 8th Critics' Choice Documentary Awards, including Best Documentary Feature.[5]

Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 99% of 153 reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.2/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Poignant and profound, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie offers a captivating inside look at the life and career of a beloved entertainer."[6] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 78 out of 100, based on 35 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[7]

Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com gave the film three and a half out of four stars and wrote, "This could have been mawkish—an "eat your vegetables" movie about an inspirational figure overcoming adversity. But keeping Fox's self-effacing, no-nonsense voice as a through-line consistently buoys 'Still.'"[1]
