Watched with Flávio, Jay, and Lia.

Hanks manages to carry the story of Mister Rogers with the same level of sincerity that was unique to Rogers' charm and power. This is not an easy task, because without careful handling it is very likely to come across as drippingly fake and cold. As someone less familiar with Rogers (non-American who grew up without him on TV), I was also unfamilar with the story on which this movie was based on. For a relevant outsider, the framing was actually very useful for getting into who Rogers was in a wider cultural context. The framing also meant that time spent with Rogers was cut down, and oppurtunities to see how Rogers interacted outside of the small interview pieces was only shown in a few places. Fundamentally, the film wanted to show the impact that Rogers had on the microcosm of a single person, and it did achieve that well. A good companion to the documentary also released about Mister Rogers.
