Will & Harper

My husband and I found this movie to be incredibly heartfelt, and agree it was beautifully done. The topic was approached so artfully, with care and compassion. We didn't realize we could like Will Farrell any more than we already do, but to see his love for his friend, and his own vulnerability was just beautiful. We could all use such a caring, brave friend. Thank you, Harper, for allowing us all in this journey of yours, as we all have so much to learn.

We laughed out loud, cried, and then laughed again. This film should be required viewing in high school, as so many.kids could learn and grow from this film.

It's not easy opening up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. Friends Will and Harper both allow themselves to be silly and awkward while they reexamine their past and future on this road trip.

Will is an excellent choice to be the avatar of the viewer as many people aren't familiar with trans people or the issues they face, though they harbor no ill will. As a familiar face, Will brings a certain comfort to people while exploring an unfamiliar topic. He asks the questions many people want to ask, even the questions that are a bit too personal for everyone to ask the one trans person they know. This film comes at a time when acceptance of trans people is remarkably high, but also remarkably low.

Trans people just want to exist in peace and happiness, but that existence has been turned into political theater. This documentary highlights how normal and harmless trans people are, while also reminding viewers how extremely negative the public can be to trans people for simply existing. Great progress has been made, but the backlash has also been strong and severe. Trans people are just people; your friends, family, neighbors, and often the people creating your favorite art and entertainment.

This film might not change your mind, but hopefully it'll give you something to think about the next time you hear incendiary rhetoric being used to scapegoat all trans people.

This was one of those, rainy day, alone at home doing chores so I'll just put something on, watches for me. Several times I found myself stopping to actually pay attention.

Although at times it's hard to tell when Ferrell is cry-acting or actually showing genuine emotion, that's either GREAT or TERRIBLE acting, but in either case this was a touching story about a pair of longtime friends essentially developing a new friendship and getting to know one another.

I have no trans friends, and to be honest, no real opinion on trans people. What I do have is a firm belief that m m it's YOUR life and so long as it doesn't bring harm to anyone else, you should do what makes you happy.

I enjoyed watching Ferrell bring some levity to otherwise very serious moments. I also enjoyed (and respected tremendously) Harper's willingness to be open and share some very personal and intimate feelings and moments.

If ur one of these ppl who think trans ppl are somehow causing harm to your 3rd grader (which is ridiculous) then don't bother watching this but otherwise it's a touching portrayal of two lifelong friends coming to terms with the changes in life and how it impacts their friendship. We should all be so lucky to have at least one friend like these two in our lives!

An intimate and touching portrayal of a decades-long friendship. Will & Harper is a timely, poignant, and often hilarious documentary that delves into the themes of self-acceptance, life in general, and of course how it feels to be trans. Harper & Will are a great comedy duo, and the touching moments between them as they reflect on their years of friendship and Harper's experiences with such honesty and nuance need to be seen.

It's a very important movie that I hope a lot of people see - if it just helps even one person be a little gentler with themselves and with others, and a little kinder, then it will have been worth it.

My first review and not a long one.

Great movie about friendship, being who you are and how difficult it is to be, if you are not like the majority.

It also shows, that most people are okay with it all, once they meet you and not just hate from home.

As a Dane this is a movie about what is right in the world - the friendship and love through acceptance and a deep connection between people.

At the same time it shows how broken America is, with all the hate and even laws against people basic rights like who you wanna be or abortion etc.

Loved the genuine conduct of Will and Harper, no acting just them.

A much watch movie for everyone who either needs to find acceptance or need to understand that it doesn't hurt them, that someone is different.
