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."
It was shortlisted for Best Documentary Feature Film at The Oscars (2024), but it was not nominated.
