"The film’s greatest strength is the way it grants access to a topic many are deliberately ignorant about." — Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair
"There’s a pure, true companionship here that should serve as a reminder to call that person in your life who might need someone to talk to." —Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
"Will & Harper has moments both poignant and laugh-out-loud funny."—Lauren Wissot, IndieWire
Featuring an exclusive pre-recorded intro from Will Ferrell and Harper Steele at every screening!
Through the frame of a decades-long friendship Will Ferrell and Iowa City native Harper Steele reconnect in emotional and unexpected ways as they journey across middle America. Layers of friendship are laid bare as Harper reenters once-safe spaces as her authentic self, reintroducing the eccentric yet earnest Will to the woman he’s always known. Their levity is reinforced and challenged: Harper embraces her newfound identity amid adversity, as Will is invited to stand by her, negotiating his celebrity in the process. What emerges is an exploration of both silliness and strife, a sincere facet of the trans experience audiences rarely witness, and an affirmation of the unbreakable bonds of friendship.
