Will & Harper - Reviews

Will Ferrell’s charming trans road trip documentary.

Will Ferrell hits the road with a newly transitioned pal.

This is not so much a movie about a straight and cisgender-identifying person learning how to accept his old pal in a new package.

...reunites comedian with old friend, now living as a woman, for warm, funny road trip.

Harper and Will both come off like good eggs, and the tears wept on both sides – about the decades of deep pain Harper felt denying her true identity...

Will Ferrell's Netflix road-trip documentary is authentic and moving.

The film acts as a kind of learning experience — for Ferrell, who is trying to understand the new dimension his friendship has taken; for Steele, who is still grappling with her identity...

It’s a profoundly open and honest exploration of not just a friendship but of America itself, from its corridors of power to its most run-down, flag-festooned roadside watering holes.

Dokumentaren indeholder en del smerte og ubehag, men fungerer i overvejende grad som empatisk modgift til det selvhad, som Harper gennem livet har båret rundt på.

I en orolig värld full av segregation och våld kan den här filmen vara den strimma av hopp som behövs för att våga tro på mänskligheten igen.
