Still

With vulnerability that few movie stars would ever be courageous enough to reveal, Mike Fox shows and tells the story of his Parkinson’s diagnosis. It’s less melancholy and pitiful than you’d think, with plenty of humor and clever bits lifted from his famous movies. The huge stockpile of clips must’ve given the clearance department the shakes as well. Too soon?? Anyway, it’s not like he could’ve hidden it from his fans for very much longer. He was and still is really famous, and the symptoms eventually became more than he or his alcohol supplements could handle. Documentarians use plenty of interpretations and reenactments to tell the story, which is fine. But the interviews with Fox himself are the most revealing and authentic. As he’s still going strong, raising his family and living his life, there’s no sign of any kind of conclusion, good or bad, in the near future.
