Please let this very good movie finally be the thing that teaches the general public there is no S at the end of “Christopher Reeve”
Patrick WillemsOct 30, 2024One of the first movies I have any memory of watching is Richard Donner's SUPERMAN. As a little kid, it affected me so much that I spent more than two years wearing a Superman outfit under my regular clothes, even to school, so that when I got home I could triumphantly…

SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY is an undeniably moving look at the life of Christopher Reeve. Alternates between pre & post accident events before shifting to the legacy of his family, work & advocacy. Very effective usage of archival footage with interviews…
Matt NegliaOct 25, 2024Very well assembled — and certainly more affecting than most of the actual superhero films released in the last few years.

Was this amazing documentary a "try not to cry challenge" or something? Because I failed. MY GOD, I need to rethink my whole life now. Christopher Reeve's and his family's story is as devastating as it is hopeful. I don't even know if my day is ruined or if I'm inspired.…
Marianna Neal 🇺🇦Sep 21, 2024An exceptionally well-made documentary. Luckily, I got to see this as I won some tickets for it. As a fan of the original Superman, there was still so much I didn't know about Reeve's story. I could really connect with his story as someone who wanted to leave the world a…

- House of El lovedSuper/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story
Few actors have been able to reach the heights of being looked at as more than the character/characters they’ve portrayed. Reeve is one of those few. He is not only many people’s “Superman” but his story of perseverance in the struggles of his tragedy elevated him to heroic. Be prepared to shed…
Cinematic Joshua likedSuper/Man: The Christopher Reeve StoryA heartfelt Documentary of a man who rose to the level of his cinematic counterpart by advocating for the paralyzed and rescuing the tears from your eyes.
Ben Lecker lovedSuper/Man: The Christopher Reeve StoryThis is a really special documentary. It is a very emotional story about a really great man. The flow of the documentary is really well done and keeps you interested throughout. The story of Christopher Reeve is a very special one, and the flip from talking about the injury to his time as Superman…

A beautiful documentary about a man who was a hero on and off the screen. This documentary was incredibly moving and inspiring. It was a pleasure to learn more about the life of Christopher Reeve & all he did for people living with disabilities. Overall, terrific documentary.
Zbo lovedSuper/Man: The Christopher Reeve Storygenuinely a documentary that had me bawling five times, this really showcased his life, the good, the controversial all of it, and how the man who played a character so, felt so powerless and how his wife and friends gave him strength, also his wife Dana was a saint, if anything.
UTMG lovedSuper/Man: The Christopher Reeve StoryI’m pretty sure a documentary has never made me cry, until this one. It’s a beautiful, heartfelt and emotional documentary that really makes you feel for Chris, and god.. seeing both Christ and Robin together made me tear up, both were amazing, amazing people. I’ll miss them.

What a lovely insight on the man behind the icon and the people in his world and left without him. I admired that it examined his strengths yes but pulled down the rose colored glasses a bit to show his weakness and mistakes showing a whole man
QueenArya lovedSuper/Man: The Christopher Reeve StoryExcellent movie. I loved Christopher Reeves growing up. I had the biggest crush on him. He is still my one and only Superman but even more he will always be a great human. Robin Williams and Dana Reeves were also just fantastic people as well.
livsparkles lovedSuper/Man: The Christopher Reeve StoryExtremely humanizing view of the man who played Superman in an industry altering debut. We often forget that actors are normal people who have struggles. Extremely inspiring but made me cry 😭.

Reeve’s bond with his fellow actor Robin Williams also makes up one of the documentary’s meatiest threads, adding depth to the character study.

While Super/Man touches upon the role, its impact on Reeve’s career and personal life, the documentary is more of a touching ode to the complicated, charming man behind the cape, and the perseverance he showed following his accident.

Astutely judged for the most part, and reflective on what Reeve meant to people in all phases of his life, the British documentary Super/Man is an emotional rollercoaster with some undeniably walloping moments. The relationships that quite literally saved Reeve come to the fore.
