Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his skepticism, learning about kindness, love, and forgiveness from America’s most beloved neighbor. "Tom Hanks fits the red sweater like he was born in it, but Marielle Heller's unique take on Fred Rogers' magnetism exceeds impersonation."--Toronto Star. "...a lovely, soft-hearted fable that works on you in an enchanting way."--Variety. "Nearly impossible not to L-I-K-E it, exactly as it is."--Entertainment Weekly.
