The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from unknown actor to
iconic movie star, and his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman set the
benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today.
Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of
other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being
injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed
from the neck down. After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic
leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as
well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care -- all while
continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera and dedicating
himself to his beloved family.

Ed Gibbs Time Out What the film does exceptionally well, above all else, is to
portray the Man of Steel as a fallible family guy – an immensely gifted and
passionate actor, activist, father and husband, who wanted to do the right
thing, and ultimately did. Rated: 4/5 •  Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Monica
Castillo RogerEbert.com Easily my big festival cry, something that moves you so
deeply that the combination of sleep deprivation, altitude, and the movie’s
subject makes it almost impossible not to get emotional. Jan 26, 2024 Full
Review Owen Gleiberman Variety A moving, wrenching, compellingly well-made
documentary... Jan 23, 2024 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies
Christopher Reeve may have played a superhero but as Super/Man: The Christopher
Reeve Story shows, he personified what it meant to be a hero during the final
years of his life. Rated: 4.5/5 •  Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Robert Kojder
Flickering Myth It is a super and emotionally absorbing triumph of documentary
filmmaking, getting at the heart of what being Superman really means Rated: 4/5
•  Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Ben Wasserman Film-Forward.com Super/Man: The
Christopher Reeve Story is a hard movie to watch, given its heartbreaking
subject matter. However, as a film about humanity, it soars. Rated: A •  Sep 19,
