kaiJun 8, 2018Unbelievably perfect. Go see this if you can, it's just so good. The entire theater was crying from the first 10 minutes. I don't have any other words besides I believe in love and the goodness in the world we live in. Thank you Mr. Rogers.

Anyone who doesn't shed a tear during this movie just isn't human. No pulse at all.

Bring Kleenex..it is what we need during this time.
MCMary CarterThis movie should be required viewing everywhere. The lessons we haven't learned as a country, as believers in a higher power, and for our own worth are held right here!
BDBryant DangLots of nostalgia. Mister Rogers still inspires me to be a better person!

The film is touching, sometimes saccharine, and other times bluntly honest, but it works best as a fascinating reminder that Rogers was trying to be more than a mascot of American politeness.

Neville has created a film that operates both as a dewy-eyed nostalgia trip and stirring appeal for civility.

The primary fascination of Won’t You Be My Neighbor? lives when it stands outside this man and stares at him, unfathomably, wondering what in the world must have made him tick. The film tries to do more than that, with varying levels of success, but that’s the core: Who is this guy?
