I'd be his neighbor. But would have to steal one of his cardigans.

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.

A beautiful day at the movies with Tom Hanks and also Matthew Rhys (loved him from The Americans and he is actually more of the focus of this movie). Though Hanks will probably be nominated, Rhys was equally good.

About half the time Tom Hanks seemed to embody Mr. Rogers but the other half he seemed to be winking at the audience or something. Any scene with "Rogers" was good and any scene without didn't really interest me much.

Solid performance from Tom Hanks, who simultaneously manages to capture the spirit of Mr. Rogers while saving the film from running off its own sentimental track.

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.

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.

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.

Not everything works and Mr. Rogers comes off as somewhat caricatured at times (although the final scene nicely peels a layer back), but A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is touching and humane and lovingly boasts the impact of personal investment and intentional kindness.

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).

This hit me right in the McFeelies. Honestly I teared up a few times. Would have been more effective if it had been a Mr. Rogers biopic instead of focusing on a nearly 100% fictional family drama of an anonymous reporter.
