    Hit me right in the feels

    this documentary film is both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time but it's still worth it to watch and everyone should definitely see it cause christopher reeve and robin williams had a legendary friendship and they were both legends and they're still missed to this day and seeing dana reeve struggle after christopher reeve's accident completely broke me and watching william reeve lose his dad and mom within 18 months shattered my heart. despite all the things that the reeve siblings went through they still pushed on and made christopher reeve's dream come true and it was heartwarming to see. in the end christopher reeve is superman and was a real life hero.

    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.
