Charmingly soft-spoken and yet powerfully incisive expressing his profound ideals, Fred Rogers was a unique presence on television for generations. Through interviews of his family and colleagues, the life of this would-be pastor is explored as a man who found a more important calling to provide an oasis for children in a video sea of violent bombardment. That proved to be his landmark series, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (1968), a show that could gently delve into important subjects no other children's show would have dared for that time. In doing so, Rogers experienced a career where his sweet-tempered idealism charmed and influenced the world whether it be scores of children on TV or recalcitrant authorities in government. However, that beloved personality also hid Rogers' deep self-doubts about himself and occasional misjudgments even as he proved a rock of understanding in times of tragedy for a world that did not always comprehend a man of such noble character.
Leave your thoughts about Won't You Be My Neighbor?.
| Senses of CinemaJordan M. SmithNeville's film proves that despite an aesthetic approach that mimics its subject's vintage gentility, if one is keen to read between the lines, politically profound ideas ... might be at play in even the most wholesome of places. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoAs an antidote to the frenetic nature of a lot of children’s TV of the day, Rogers preferred a measured pace on his show, and even made judicious use of silence. These are just two of the numerous gifts given by this extraordinary man to the children lucky enough to have watched “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.” |
| SSG SyndicateSusan GrangerIlluminating, insightful documentary - a timely film to treasure. |
| The Mary SueVivian KaneBut he was good and kind he loved you, even if he'd never met you. This movie's ultimate message, like Rogers' himself, seems to be simply that that shouldn't be so hard to believe. |
| NewcityRay PrideSimple mortal uplift. Children matter, every single one. Children are owed attention, education and protection. Each time Fred Rogers began a show by pulling on his cardigan, he shouldered on that mantel. |
| Your Movies (cleveland.com)John UrbancichThere's no doubt that the film's unqualified star remains Rogers himself, whether sitting strong to convince Nixon-era tough guy John Pastore to increase funding for public television, or simply talking smart sense to millions of kids. |
| KDHX (St. Louis)Diane CarsonIt is wonderfully uplifting in those increasingly rare instances when we learn that a dear television star is, in fact, the persona he projects. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertYou don't need a strong nostalgic connection to Rogers' show to feel genuinely moved by the man's essential goodness, all the more as Neville contrasts it with today's public discourse. |
| ComingSoon.netAlan CernyWon't You Be My Neighbor has a power to it that cannot be denied, especially in the context and backdrop of today's world. |
| Salon.comMary Elizabeth WilliamsAs Oscar winner Morgan Neville's timely, tear-duct lubricating documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" makes clear, the easily parodied, often underestimated icon of children's television was a total badass. |
