The Christopher Reeve Story
Saturday was Batman Day and I thought the best way to celebrate was to catch a screening of the highly anticipated documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story at my local cinema.
I have to agree with the Rotten Tomatoes score and the consensus of Superman centric social media. This movie was excellent. It was a moving portrayal of an actor that we’ve all come to know as Superman. It wasn’t just Superman and his accident. The movie showcased his friendships, his family, and his whole career. It showed his courageous activism and his failures. I cannot recommend this film enough. Not just for Superman fans or people who love those movies. This is a documentary with something for everyone. I was moved to tears many many times.
I really liked Always Hold onto Smallville’s special episode about it and the preview of it from the Countdown to Superman podcast.
The movie has one more day in US theaters with Fathom Events so there is still a chance to check it out. For Christopher Reeve’s birthday! And of course it will likely be streaming on Max in the near future.
