![]() It’s not without some of the conventional beats of a star-driven documentary, but it also refuses to turn maudlin when it so easily could. For as distressing as that sounds, Fox is nothing if not a likable figure, and he and Guggenheim have crafted a likable film about both his suffering and resilience without turning him into a martyr.
