Much like the beloved TV personality that inspired it, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood offers a powerfully affecting message about acceptance and understanding.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is like a warm hug from Mister Rogers himself. Tom Hanks gives a heartwarming performance as the beloved children’s television host, and the film’s message of hope and compassion is more important now than ever. It’s not your typical biopic, but that’s what makes it so special. So grab some tissues and get ready to be inspired by the kindness of others.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood is like an anti-Joker in how it confronts the mental health challenges of its main character. Instead of nihilism, hopelessness and violence, this film opts for hope.

Another superbly tuned project by director Marielle Heller, this miraculously swerves the schmaltz to create something quietly profound and spiritual. A beautiful day indeed.

By blending the very serious with the childlike, Heller’s film locates real feeling in what could easily have been a run-of-the-mill tearjerker.

As Rogers, Hanks does something exceptional in his career: he disappears.

If you’re expecting a straightforward biography of Mister Rogers, you might be disappointed…if, however, you hope to be inspired by a story about the way Mister Rogers still affects the world today, you will love this film.
