Day 186 of the challenge! Won't You Be My Neighbor? is a great...shut up, I'm not crying, YOU ARE! 

Liked:

  • How accessible it is. If for some reason you didn't grow up with Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, this doc does an amazing job setting a context for what both the man and the show meant to multiple generations of people.

  • The insight into who he was a person, away from the camera. Rather than worship Rogers, Won't You Be My Neighbor? makes sure you see him as one of us, as an individual with the same insecurities and fears that any other person has. 

  • Shed some light on aspects of Rogers' life I had no idea about. 

Didn't like:

  • Exploring more of the darker elements in Rogers' life that I didn't know about would have been great. More of a "I wish they had explored this a bit more" rather than dislike.
