What a lovely and emotional film about the complexity of the human experience. Tom Hanks plays Mister Rogers really well and his performance shines. Having watched Mister Roger's Neighborhood practically every day of my childhood and recently reading and watching more about the man behind the show made watching this film a joy. In order to lead our best lives we really do just need to listen to the words of his songs. Mister Rogers was incredibly wise and knew not just what to say but most importantly how to say it.
