Crazy to think that I've lived 24 years of my life without knowing that this person – who I would dare call my hero after seeing this movie – walked around on the other side of the ocean and inspired millions. What an amazing character does this movie sketch. I'm unsure how much of my love is for this movie and how much of it is simply for Mr. Rogers himself, but that might be beside the point. This is an exceptionally inspiring watch.

A relatively rote documentary about an incredibly inspiring man. Even having not grown up with his programs, I was touched by his singular character and the simple beauty of his respect for children, and just about all people in general, as presented in the film. My only qualm with the documentary, in fact, is how clumsily it presented its beat on Mr. Rogers’ treatment of François Clemmons when the latter’s homosexuality was forced into the public eye.

It's impressive to see just how genuine Mr. Rogers was. As many commentators have noted, Mr. Rogers' message feels more needed today than ever before.

The hype is right, this really might be the most wholesome movie ever made, and it certainly didn't stop me from tearing up almost continuously throughout the film. Although Rogers was by no means perfect, and through a 2019 lens is still quite conservative on many issues, his gospel of love, patience, understanding and healthy masculinity, was almost radical in its softness and provides a much-needed ray of optimism during a period of history when optimism seems so hard to come by.

There are so many offhand lines and stories which show Rogers as a more complicated individual, only to be swept away for the sake of the film's feelgood narrative. Mr. Rogers is cast as an exceptional individual surrounded by the regressiveness of his mean-spirited parodies, cynical critics, and violent cartoons. It's easy-to-swallow, likely because it's already been pre-chewed. In the end, all the film can offer are weak platitudes urging one to mend the divisions in today's political climate

This movie illustrates in clear terms the deep thirst for compassion in society, and it certainly does feel like a critical message for this era of American discord. It allows us a glimpse at the cracks in the Mr. Rogers persona and returns him to humanity, reminding us that there was nothing supernaturally good about him. Ultimately, the movie has a simple message that it tells simply, just as Mr. Rogers did, but it comes off as profound because we forget how to act with empathy at all times.

Fred Rogers is one of the few primates in the world who we can almost all agree on, and that's pretty cool. You can't really fuck up a documentary about someone who's universally adored. This is a very cohesive documentary and captures the essence and ideologies of Fred Rogers very well. It's a bit slow and repetitive, but overall it's an easy watch.

The central man and his journey and views and philosophy are all very interesting. The movie surrounding them is a good 50% longer than it needed to be and with one viewing I could identify 20 easily cuttable minutes.

A moving tribute to a very unique and honestly even Christ-like man who spent his life trying to encourage others to be kind. What makes this a stand out is that there are also a couple of genuine surprises even for childhood fans of his. Some critics condemn him for helping to create the "everyone is special" mentality that Millenials now swear by but that's a little unfair since he was primarily addressing mostly very young children & not actually handing out awards just for showing up.

Enjoyable documentary would probably find a better 'home' as a hour long TV piece than as a theatrical feature; as presented, Rogers' story is a little too simple and straightforward to supply a satisfying film narrative; it would probably help to have a nostalgic connection to the character (?) as well, however the scenes demonstrating his ability to discuss tragic world events (RFK) in simple and direct terms to children was fascinating. A noble effort, but a little insubstantial.

This man was more than wholesome. On the IMDBreen's Parent's Guide page it mentions how Mr Rogers speaks in a stern and raised voice at one point in the "Frightening and Intense scenes" and I can't help but imagine a sheltered private school manchild in middle america losing sleep and have a crying fit over that, because Mr Rogers raising his voice is the worst thing that could happen to them
