i know little about Mr Rodgers.

Tom Hanks has signed up play Fred Rogers in “You Are My Friend.”

The biopic comes from writers Micah Fitzerman-Blue and Noah Harpster (Transparent)

Marielle Heller (The Diary Of A Teenage Girl) to direct.

It actually sounds like the movie will be borrowing from the format of the David Foster Wallace biopic “The End Of The Tour,” following a cynical journalist hangs out with Mr. Rogers and finds his life transformed (through kindness, probably.)

Looks fantastic - I can see people sobbing by the end of that.
 
3.5/5 Quirky film - not quite as emotional as the trailer suggested, possibly as outside US no-one will know who Mr Rogers is as show not broadcast here
 
This was not what I expected. Rather sad, dark drama, more about a man coming to terms with his difficult relationship with his father than Mr Rogers.
3 male performances were brilliant, particularly Hanks and the less talked about Chris Cooper.
Lots of nice little visual flourishes to. It’s an odd film.
I welled up when a certain song came on, which I might add virtually never happens.
8.5/10
