15 Best-Reviewed Movies From Sundance 2018

7. Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Won T You Be My Neighbor
Tremolo Pictures

One of the year's most anticipated documentaries is this comprehensive tribute to legendary American TV icon Mister Fred Rogers, as helmed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom).

In a time where so many childhood icons are being outed as huge creeps, there's something refreshing about a doc that just confirms everything you thought you knew about the man.

That it apparently manages to be a sweetly affecting tribute to the man without deigning to become a hagiography is just the icing on the cake. According to the early reviews, there wasn't a dry eye in the house at the premiere.

Won't You Be My Neighbor? is in cinemas June 8th.
