Storyline

- TriviaIn 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."
- GoofsDuring 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.

Featured review
This is not a velvety self celebratory biography, but an honest insight in to the actual man, pain bruises and all, behind the face we thought we knew so well. Giving the sense that life happens to everyone, also celebrities, you understand how absolutely critical family, especially his wife has been in reflecting back on him, so that he could make the choices to become the man he is today. Parkinson's is a brutal disease, as I've also experienced first hand with an acquaintance, but Michael J Fox story, well told through clips from throughout his career, gives hope that you can break through living in accordance with your own perceived expectations of how the world needs to see you, and actually just be your true self, no matter what life brings, and no matter how differently you may be perceived compared to your old ideals. The less polished, authentic Michael J Fox, is an inspiration, and this documentary lets you meet him closer than ever.
