Insightful and deeply emotional, this documentary is a delight from start to finish.

The strength of this film is that it never allows the myth to eclipse the man.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 2, 2020

Gently humanizes Rogers while also firmly reminding us of the many things that turned him into an iconic figure of childhood.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 27, 2020

Rogers chose "143" as the fictional address of Mister Rogers' neighborhood, because each digit represents the number of letters in the words "I love you." Thus, the four-star rating system doesn't apply to this documentary. This movie gets 143 stars.

Won't You Be My Neighbor? packs a reflective and thoughtful punch that reminds you of the good in the world.

Even though just the trailer had me in tears, [the film] is, aside from being a major nostalgia trip, somewhat aimless.

Gather everyone you care about and go see this -- easily one of the best and most necessary films you'll see in all year.
