Review of Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018) by Walter B — 25 Jun 2018

Morgan Neville's careful, yet intimate look into the life and achievements of the one and only Fred Rogers might be the best documentary I've ever seen, and not just for the truly skilled filmmaking at the center.

It's the philosophy of the film's central figure and the truly tear-inducing effects that he had on all the people around him, paired with the filmmaker's unique vision for framing these events that makes it the masterpiece that it is.

I hate to be that guy, but this really is a movie that everyone should see, not necessarily to be a better person or anything, but to be reminded that there was and could still be goodness left in this very scary world we live in now.
