Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

  • Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
    • Excerpt: I aspire now to be a Healer not a Hurter, thanks to Mr. Rogers.
  • David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
    • Excerpt: With Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, Neville gives us a portrait of a man who seems to be like no one else who has ever lived and then pleas with us to not let that be the case.
  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
    • Excerpt: An inspiring portrait that reveals how Mister Rogers showed children that they are loved and capable of loving.
  • [New] | Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
  • Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
    • Excerpt: Mister Rogers was goodness personified and that’s the uplifting feeling you’ll get when exiting the theater.
  • Courtney Howard @ FreshFiction.tv
    • Excerpt: Once the tears start flowing, and assuredly they will, they won’t stop.
  • Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
    • Excerpt: With a world and administration dead-set on alienating those who are different from an aging and increasingly irrelevant status quo, we need Rogers’ lessons more than ever. Here was a lifetime member of the Republican Party that understood the values of Christianity above its potential to be politicized for evil. Here was a man that led with kindness and understanding that all humanity was equal and deserving of love no matter what.
  • Kristy Puchko @ Riot Material
    • Excerpt: Won’t You Be My Neighbor? turns from feel-good bio-doc to a beguiling battle cry.
  • Bev Questad @ It’s Just Movies
    • Excerpt: This award-winning documentary, with interviews with his wife and two sons along with his TV associates, is a precious reminder of what being a good neighbor means.
  • James Roberts @ Glide Magazine
    • Excerpt: The farther we get from the light of his life, the more it feels that we’ve let him down. That we have collectively failed Mister Rogers.
  • Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
    • Excerpt: This wonderful documentary is more than a movie. It’s a spiritual experience.
  • James Wegg @ JWR
    • Excerpt: The most naïve man in the neighbourhood
