Everything seemed to happen quickly in Christopher Reeve's life: Superman made him an overnight success, and then a horse-riding accident toolkit all away in an instant, paralyzing him and saddling him with the health problems that ultimately led to his death at the young age of 52. Now, a new documentary, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, takes a closer look at his life, in part through the eyes of the people who knew him best: his family. Christopher's son, Will Reeve, was one of those participating in the documentary, and said he was very impressed with the way the producers and directors approached the project.

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is now playing in theaters.

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (dirs. Ian Bonhôte & Peter Ettedgui).

DC's documentary biopic about the incredible life story of the actor made famous for his seminal 1978 portrayal of the Man of Steel on the big screen puts his many personal trials and professional tribulations into clarity. We learn how his 1995 horseriding accident left him paralyzed from the neck down and his subsequent activism for the disabled community forged new awareness for those struggling for better accessibility in the world. It's moving portrait of resilience, perseverance, and sacrifice. You'll believe a (Super)man can walk again...

Bridgerton / Titanic / Somewhere in time scene comparaison 🦋💛🩵💎🌹🕰

These are not comparisons, but similarities between the scenes of these three productions. If you haven't discovered these three films yet, I highly recommend them.

They have made me who I am today.

🔹️"Somewhere in Time", 1980, my birth year.

🔹️"Titanic", the year I turned 18.

🔹️And 2024, *Bridgerton* marks a new turning point in my life.

A thought for Christopher Reeve. 🙏🏻💗

I find that Luke Newton has the talent of the other two actors. (C. Reeve et L. Dicaprio)

All three have "shape of blue" eyes. 🩵

All three actresses are beautiful and talented.

I see echoes of K.Winslet and J. Seymour in N. Coughlan's performance. 💛

They are all fantastic.💖💖

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story

HELL YEAH MORE SUPERMAN. And this is a documentary about the guy who played Superman in the original movies? Awesome. I've never seen those movies, but I don't have to know they are infinitely better than those fucking Zack Snyder ones. Anyway, as soon as I heard about it I was incredibly excited. I wasn't sure if I was gonna review this movie, since I don't think people engage with documentaries the same way they engage with structured narratives, so I didn't know if my review style would work. But I want to tell people about this movie so I'll muddle through.

By the way Tumblr, and I'm speaking to the users and not the website this time, thank you SO MUCH for having EVERY SINGLE top post under the Superman tag be about FUCKING BATMAN. GOD FORBID I TRY TO ENJOY SOMETHING DC RELATED AND NOT GET REMINDED OF THE GOTH FURRY.

What's The Movie About.

Christopher Reeve and his role as Superman, his accident and subsequent adjustment to life, and the founding of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.

What I Like.

The whole movie, pretty much. I like the way they present the information, I like the glimpse into Christopher Reeve's life. They were incredibly respectful of the man while still acknowledging his flaws. They showed a lot of footage of home videos his wife took and I liked seeing hi trying to spend time with his kids after his accident. I didn't know Christopher Reeve directed movies either, that's pretty cool. I actually didn't know a lot about him, so this movie was fascinating. Probably the coolest thing was learning that he was best friends with Robin Williams, although it seems obvious in hindsight. Like of course the man who's still who I want to be when I grow up is best friends with Superman! The biggest thing I like about this movie was the message of never giving up. Christopher (and his wife, who I learned died of cancer only two years after he died) was faced with an impossible situation, and he never gave up. There were moments of weakness, sure. But he persevered. He kept fighting. I'm absolutely not ashamed to admit this movie made me cry like four or five times, and all of them were in relation to Chris overcoming or succumbing to the more tragic parts of his life. (Or when Glenn Close said Robin would probably still be alive if Chris was like WOMAN YOU CAN'T DO ME LIKE THAT.) There's a really cool visual of a stature of Superman/Christopher floating through spaces that get's green crystals when they talk about Chris's injuries and the movie opens with an awesome shot of the statue right in front of nebula that looks like a cape. It's so cool that I completely disregard that the movie should have ended on that shot instead of opened on it. Either way, this movie is really quite excellent.

What I Didn't Like.

It's just a shame YOU CAN'T WATCH THIS ANYWHERE. WHY THE FUCK IS THIS A LIMITED RELEASE?! I get it's a documentary and maybe that doesn't have as much appeal as a regular comic book movie, but our theater is showing this movie for only TWO DAYS. I HAD TO PAY TO WATCH IT. Yes, I was happy to, it was a worthwhile experience. But why limit the opportunity for people to watch it? Seriously. This is baffling.

Final Summation.

This is a movie about Superman and hope of course I like this movie. I guess watch it on Max in like a month. I guess I was kind right about not being able to review documentaries as easily, but honestly the half-assed nature of this piece might be just because this movie is pretty damn good. I don't have much to say beyond that.
