I thought the doc did a great job of really showing you how it affects families, relationships, etc.
Like for all the praise Gleason was getting and how public perception of his bravery was...you have his wife/caretaker over here doing almost everything and getting the whole, "wow you must feel lucky to have such a great guy"
It really gave a raw, realistic view of this horrible disease and made everyone look like humans and not saints(no pun intended). And it still promoted a positive message.

As others have said, I think the whole faith healing thing was him showing everybody that this is what's real. He was showing his Dad his reality. Testing God, his Dad, faith, everyone in the audience, etc. Very true ab him being shown as a person first and foremost under debilitating circumstances. But also showing that that's how heros are made. A person overcoming adversity. His wife seemed very real.
