A relatively interesting framing of what would normally be a flat biopic of a famous person, but for Mister Rogers, this was an excellent idea. It only makes sense for a guy who played a pivotal role in countless children's lives, that the best way to make a movie about him is to show how he impacted one person for the better. He was a great man, one of impeccable character, and this movie honors him well.

It starts out strong with some interesting hooks on Mr. Rogers, but the film ignores this and makes him a secondary character to what is boring, stock family drama. It's a shame, too, because the film does bring up interesting questions about Rogers' character that don't go anywhere and Hanks pulls off the character perfectly. If the film was actually about Mr. Rogers, it would have been potentially far better but instead we got generic tripe instead. Oh well.

I’ll be honest and say that I barely watched Mr. Rogers as a kid so the big Mr. Rogers nostalgia boom that seems to have sprung up in the last few years mostly misses me. But, that said, this was a good and emotionally effective film, a unique sort of “biopic” structure in the way it sort of uses the highlighted real-life person to bounce the true protagonist’s arc off of. Weird to say that “the Mr. Rogers movie” is smart in not overusing Mr. Rogers, but that’s the case.

Tom Hanks did a great job bringing Mr Rogers to life. Even though he wasn't a perfect fit for the look or even the voice, somehow he captured the performance spot on. That being said, I unfortunately didn't care enough about the main character writing the story on Mr. Rogers. Sure his story is one many can relate to, and it brings together the themes of Mr. Rogers, but something about that side of the story just didn't interest me a whole lot.

Vogel: "Dr, I have anger issues, I hate my dad, my wife doesn't understand me and my boss thinks I I'm a jerk!" Doctor:" Well, take this 4 day course of "Mr Rogers" tablets, and I am sure everything will work out fine!".. Thankfully, his fathers attempt to reconcile, his sisters wedding, and meeting Rogers all coincided as it is not recommended to take more than 1 course. Rogers was a great guy; his mantra of "be kind" is one I aspire to, but this saccharine overdose fails to reveal the 'man'

,but an average day at the cinema. The framing of the story meant to show us a skeptic won over by Rogers' authentic goodness makes for so many unnecessary scenes. Spoilery comment, I don't care about guy's story making the cover. That does nothing for me. Having read that actual article (amazing btw), I imagine the filmmakers looking at this like Oscar Schindler and his pen. How many Rogers insights could we have shown instead of another scene of this rando's struggles?

Clumsily constructed, but every time Tom Hanks' Mr. Rogers is on screen, softness, patience, and empathy are palpable and enveloping. Vogel's storyline is blandly shot and occasionally wooden, but serves well enough as a vehicle to draw us to that incredible, quiet empathy, which is the obvious and comprehensive highlight of the film.

Allowing the aesthetics of Mr Roger’s show shape the form and content is what elevates this from the standard biopic (easy to compare it to End of the Tour but this is where it differs). The scene in the Chinese restaurant will stand as one of the boldest, most powerful moments in recent mainstream cinema. Heller is a gifted director and her vision is singular. Hanks, Rhys, and Cooper deserve any possible accolades. All emotions feel earned. Beautiful last scene as an end note (pun intended).

I know that nowadays in the mainstream it's forbidden to talk about the Church in a positive light, but still, it's a shame this (otherwise great movie) shies away from the key fact that Roger actually worked for the Church. He studied Theology and was ordained a minister by the Pittsburgh Presbytery. His mission: "rather than being a pastor of a church, was to minister to children and their families through television. He regularly appeared before church officials to maintain his ordination".

It's hard not to be moved by the actions of someone who truly does behave like a saint. (Sorry, Mrs. Rogers, but even therapists regularly vent to someone & don't behave anything like this off-duty.) The film (& Fred) fails to explain exactly how he manages his self-imposed burden (piano & swimming won't cover it) or his motivation, so maybe it's really about religious commitment. Of course liberals don't want to go there, so it was very shrewd to make the bulk of the movie about someone else.

Hanks' spectacular evocation of Rogers' warmth and humanity is the centrepiece of an ultimately odd screenplay which sidelines this fascinating performance in service of a fairly mundane and predictable portrait of familial fracturing and reconciliation between Rhys and Cooper. A straight Rogers biopic contrasting his on-screen/off-screen persona (teasingly hinted at) would have been far more compelling and interesting. A missed opportunity, but Hanks' brilliance makes this a must-see.

Mediocre and with nothing much of interest to offer, aside from some cute establishing shots done with miniatures. The asshole main character doesn't give a shit about his dad because his dad is just like Earl Partridge from Magnolia, but Mr Rogers informs him about the virtues of forgiveness -- gee, I wonder what's going to happen! This portrayal of the delightful Mr Rogers makes him seem a bit like an aloof alien, with no dynamism to his inner feelings until the very last scene.

This movie made me so angry I wanted to punch the screen. Then it went on. By the end I was melting with kindness and gratitude that movies like this exist, that they inspire and even to a tiny bit, transform. I did not know that this was inspired by a true person, nor that said person existed. But it made me rethink some of my own choices I make. With that, I believe, for any filmmaker the purest of the purposes is achieved. A mirror and a path to the human you strive to be. Has flaws but w/e.

There are scenes that feel like Michel Gondry meets Mr. Rogers. This is the most perfect role for Tom Hanks, and one his whole career has been leading up to. Can you imagine Michael Douglas in this role? There are scenes that Mr. Rogers comes across as creepy, and possibly messing with Lloyd, but Hanks really brings the charm.

Goddammit movie, stop making me feel so warm and fuzzy. One of the more interesting "biopics" I've seen thanks to its unique structure, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood benefits from sincere sentiment and heart, the most perfect casting of the decade in Tom Hanks as Fred Rogers, and excellent direction from Marielle Heller that immerses the viewer in the world of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

Hem de Tom Hanks izleyiciye inandırması çok zor bir rolün altından harika kalkıyorken oynuyorken odağın Mr.Rogers'tan bayat bir karakter hikayesine dönmesi filmi aşağı çekiyor.

This was mostly unnecessary due to timing. The Fred Rogers doc that came out a year prior to this said all that was needed to be said. Was it not sufficient for the movie going public? Maybe America's go-to everyman Tom Hanks can fake Mr. Roger's good natured kindness for an hour and 49 minutes to help spell it out for us.

I had no idea why they used this narrative frame at first so I was confused. I couldn't help but keep thinking that Mr. Rogers was portrayed as a complete saint, despite his humble insistence that he got mad at times. Great acting by Tom Hanks. Much better Mr. Rogers film than Won't You Be My Neighbor. Fav scene: playing with the Daniel Tiger puppet to the point of annoying the journalist.

My reticent decision to see this movie was as complicated as it was for the journalist who was assigned to do a 400 word puff piece on Mr. Rogers for Esquire. The article ended up being a 10,000 word cover story. But the movie focuses on their characters and nature of their friendship rather than their backgrounds, especially regarding the journalist whose name was changed for that reason. The drama is genuine. The scene in the subway, which I thought surely was made up, turns out to be factual.

The story here is simple – so simple, in fact, that you'd be tempted to call it cliched. Yet this movie grabs you by the shoulders and urges you "Look. No, really look. This stuff is important!" If you see in this movie nothing more than yet another saccharine wouldn't-it-be-nice-if-we-were-all-nice drama, I'm convinced you've missed the point entirely. Not because this is not that kind of movie. But because this movie has the power to show people that all of these movies were right all along.

Take away the occasional overacting by both Hanks and Rhys, and I think this is quite literally just shy of masterpiece. I was unprepared for how easily this movie would strum my heartstrings - in retrospect, I shouldn't have been so surprised. Subtlety personified with flashes of immense strength. I loved how there were some truly unlikable characters who received satisfying redemptive arcs. This was some masterful and unorthodox storytelling that felt authentic to its time and its protagonist.

Serviceable, but probably not effective to those who didn't grow up with Mr. Rogers as a regular part of their day-to-day childhood. Hanks does a good job, and this is likely to be the best-directed film of 2019 that just didn't click with me. I wasn't bored, but I wasn't especially moved.

This film is less a bio-drama that examines the character of Mr. Rogers as I had assumed from the trailers, and more a straightforward tale of forgiveness from Vogel's perspective. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed. I didn't grow up with Mr. Rogers, so I had no pre-existing affinity. The acting is good, but the plot is just too mundane.

A tender, warm hug of a movie that honors Rogers precisely by using him as he lived his life: caring for and trying to help others. A movie–not a documentary, which have different standards–focusing entirely (or maybe even primarily) on Rogers would probably have been dull; it's the problem with perfect characters.

Not a film about Rogers, perse, more intent on espousing his "live and forgive" philosophy and it excels at that. Every establishing shot is constructed to resemble the toy neighborhood from Roger's show, a cute dreamy touch. Less cute was the actual dream sequence, a little much and overdone, bordering into nightmare territory. As for nightmares, see also Hanks performance which is exquisite but for tiny seconds lurches into a realm too calm, too quiet,too intent and will make your spine tingle

Tell you what, there was never anyone like Fred Rogers before or after his life here on earth, but Tom Hanks was probably the best choice to really hone in on that uplifting, kind soul - and there's a lot of that in this film, even though this isn't a Mr. Rogers biopic as you might imagine it would be, it's about someone else entirely, but that SOUL is still very much present. It makes you want to be a better person, however temporary. Very good addition to Tom Hanks's roster.
