Touching documentary about the life and career of Christopher Reeve. Though it didn’t move me as much as I was expecting considering the trailer made me tear up when I saw it a couple weeks ago. But I think that’s a credit to the film for not just intentionally tugging on the heartstrings. This feels like a mostly honest portrayal of Reeve’s life and not all of it paints him in the best light. Dana Reeve seems like might be the real hero. The moments that highlight his friendship with Robin Williams were probably the most effective. Made me sad to see Gae moved to tears when talking about Christopher leaving her, even all these years later. Really good doc and well worth checking out.
