Many movies that try to depict how God works through us tend to suffer from heavy handedness, some calamity followed by 'the great awakening'. Fred Rogers life shows us that God speaks quietly through everything we do. I haven't ranked many movies 10 stars but I would give this one 11 if I could. We are so constantly beat upon by negativity, apathy, pettiness, and evil that we forget to see the value of one another. Hanks does such a masterful job of projecting the persona of Rogers that you will feel like he is speaking directly to you. I have never seen the parable of the mustard seed illustrated more brilliantly. It's one thing to make a movie that celebrates a man and his deeds, quiet though they may be. It's quite another when the portrayal of that man resonates with the Spirit so strongly it reaches out of the screen to tell each of us 'you aren't broken'. That everyone could have such love in their hearts. To which its likely Mr Rogers would say 'well why not? I believe in you'. Recommended with the highest praise possible.
