Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Positively ten buck worthy. Is it possible to make an intriguing, 94-minute documentary about a man who was filled with positivity and goodness — without a scandal arc to the story? 

Yes it is.
While the production of this film involves nothing revolutionary, the subject was. Old footage of Fred Rogers is the real star of this doc about about the beginnings of his PBS show and its noble purpose — giving children the tools they need to navigate the world.
The words shared in the film are good advice for adults too. Everyone alive in 2018 can benefit from seeing this huggable film and I hope it’s a success when it opens in theaters this June.
In a nutshell: Zip up your cardigan and join this neighborly good time. It's more lovable than artful, but contains a message everyone should hear. It, like you, is special.
 
Award potential: Filmmaker Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom) has won the Academy Award for Best Documentary. His clout. plus this lovable subject, should have this film on all short lists for nominees. 

It’s an unlikely winner however, as it’s not a deep subject and drags on about ten minutes too long — not that inappropriate given that Mr Rogers never was one for hurrying.
 
The ten buck review: Worth ten bucks.
