It captures the strength of Fred Rogers's convictions even as his gentleness and sincerity fell further out of favor.

A loving portrait of what genuine kindness used to look like -- pre Trump.

Thank you, Mister Rogers, for a wonderful life, and thank you, Mister Neville, for this wonderful movie.

The filmmakers, like their subject, remain simple, candid, and guileless in their approach to powerful emotions and difficult truths.

Filmmaker Morgan Neville delivers a sweet, affecting story.

By the end ... no, I wasn't crying, there was something in my eye.

If Mr. Rogers ever meant anything to you, this film must be seen (Broad Street Review)

It's Rogers himself who makes this movie remarkable.

"Won't You Be My Neighbor?" truly captures such an immense undertaking and grasps the responsibility that Fred encouraged as he became a champion for children, leading the charge with 100% heart.

Won't You Be My Neighbor? turns from feel-good bio-doc to a beguiling battle cry.

Once again, Mr. Rogers has given me a tool to help me navigate a world that can often feel sad and terrifying, and the equally timely and timeless...

On paper, all that low-key positivity ought to be tricky material for a documentary filmmaker. But watching "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" was a profoundly emotional experience.

Won't You Be My Neighbor? is easily one of the most touching, tearful documentaries I've ever seen.

With the legacy of Rogers guiding him, Neville creates a film where vulnerability is not a gimmick, where openness is not a bargaining chip.

I absolutely adore this documentary and think everyone and their child should see it.
