Featured reviews
I just saw an early screening of "Will & Harper" and went on the ride of a lifetime. It felt like a privilege to go along with these two old friends on a journey of self-discovery and redefining their relationship. Loved every minute of it, all the way through the end credits. You see a new, intimate side to Will Ferrell and learn about an extremely talented and tortured soul who can finally be who they truly are. You wish everyone would watch this movie, because if they do they will definitely have more compassion for the transgender community. Unexpected moments, lovely scenery and great cameos, too.
What a beautiful movie. Both lighthearted moments and shattering pain. An exploration of friendship, acceptance (of oneself and of others), and bravery. I'm so glad Will Farrell created this project to help his friend Harper feel at a home in the world rather than shuttered in a house at the edge of our continent.
Did I wait the entire movie for a certain theme song? Yes.
I could say more and this box seems to want me too, but I think you should experience this film for yourself. It's deeply personal. It explores self-hate, which we all carry in some way. And the powerful antidote of love and connection.

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 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.

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!
