Movie review: In Still on AppleTVPlus, Michael J. Fox (realmikefox) moving tells his story
"Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie" -- ★ ★ ★ I've always liked Michael J. Fox and always will. I suspect most people feel the same way.
In Guggenheim's film, Fox recounts his life, career and arduous battle with Parkinson's disease, with which he was diagnosed at age 29. The documentary, debuting Friday on Apple TV+, does this through candid on-camera interviews with Fox along with narration read by the actor. But dramatizing Fox's life like this can also feel like a shallow gimmick. Instead, the most memorable images in"Still" are those of a present-day Fox in frame, speaking straight into the camera. The effects of Parkinson's are visible but so is the jaunty, self-deprecating actor we've always known. After the continual mussing with his still-handsome head of curls, Fox begs the primpers to stop."At a certain point, it is what it is," he says.

Fox News agreed to pay Dominion to avert a trial in the voting machine company’s lawsuit that would have exposed how the network promoted lies about the 2020 presidential election. Dominion sued Fox for $1.6 billion, arguing that the top-rated news outlet damaged the company’s reputation.
