Will & Harper - Netflix Documentary/Road Trip

Will is making his Oscar push with this documentary/Road Trip about his friend Harper Steele who transitioned into a woman. SNL 50th season is launching all of these projects and this migjht actually be the best.

I watched 3 documentaries over the weekend, and this is by far and away the very best of them. This is absolutely wonderful, and if there is any justice, it should be nominated for an Oscar.

Will & Harper is, in most ways, a very old-fashioned road movie, with Will Ferrell traveling across the country with his newly-transitioned friend of many years, Harper Steele (a former head writer for Saturday Night Live).

Now, I know what you're going to ask. Yes, we do get to see a pretty substantial number of other famous SNL members, especially those who were there around the same time as Will and Harper.

But that's really not what makes this a great documentary. When we have seen one documentary released this weekend openly embracing thinly-veiled prejudice and contempt for others, this is the complete opposite - it is a documentary that embraces open-mindedness, human camaraderie, and sticking with people when they're going through tough or challenging times.

It is, in short, about all of the wonderful things that make people be better and help society become more embracing and more caring for everyone.

I watched this today. This was an enjoyable and lovely documentary about a beautiful friendship between two likeable individuals. It's humorous, sweet, heartfelt and entertaining.
