On the heels of Won't You Be My Neighbor, a documentary, comes this other version which is "based on a true story" but takes a quite different look.
Tom Hanks stars as Fred Rogers, and Matthew Rhys (Lloyd) is a journalist send to interview Mr. Rogers. Lloyd is a hard-hitting investigative journalist and tries to size up Mr. Rogers as someone who is not what he appears. But Mr. Rogers turns out to be better than promised and helps to transform Lloyd into a better adult. What starts off as 400 words of fluff turns into 10,000 words of self help.
A nice story to wrap up a 40+ year career of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.
