How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A candid, deeply human portrait of Michael J. Fox's life, career, and decades-long journey with Parkinson's disease. It's less a celebrity hagiography than an intimate conversation about mortality, purpose, and the unexpected grace that can come from confronting limitation.

This is a really interesting and well-made documentary. It is wholesome and inspiring overall, without ever getting too saccharine. There are a lot of clips of his shows and movies that enhance the story, and the balance of those with interviews and "candid" family footage is perfect. This could have been stretched into a miniseries, but they edited it to a refined and excellent hour and a half.
