We see it as the most worthwhile movie of 2018. It’s a documentary. With clips of old black & white footage. And, puppets. Singing puppets. And, it’s amazing. Like life-changing amazing.

Over the course of the 94 minutes of Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, we think you’ll find that you forget that it’s a documentary at all. The real-life stories from people who did life with the man we all knew as Mr. Rogers and the stories from people who feel like they have done life with him will capture your attention, make you smile, make you laugh, and make you cry.

Is it good for your kids? That’s up to you. There are a few swear words—from people other than Mr. Rogers, of course. And, there are some beautiful moments talking about taking risks during big political times and over culturally divisive topics such as homosexuality. We found them to be opportunities for conversation about acceptance and empathy and how each one of us fits into the world and is called to stand up within it.
