There's a moment in this where Tom Hanks/Mr. Rogers looks right at the camera and into your soul for a solid 20 seconds, and it's simultaneously beautiful and terrifying, as if maybe this is the last thing you'll ever see. Rest of the movie is pretty good too.

Saw this a couple days ago and can't stop thinking about how even though Tom Hanks doesn't look or sound much like Mr. Rogers, he irradiates the exact right sort of decency where I instantly believe it's him. What a nice guy.

Heller’s filmmaking is so warm and inviting. She has the ability to take character’s who on the surface feel like supporting characters in real life and makes them protagonists (obviously referring to Llyod, not Mr. Rogers.) That said, while she held my attention with his…

I watched this over the shoulder of the person in front of me on an airplane, and it still made me cry.

73 What a strange, lovely movie. After the success of Won't You Be My Neighbor?, I wasn't sure what else could be said about Mr. Rogers, but Marielle Heller complicates his persona and the reality of his ethos in really fascinating ways, and she dives right into the…

I didn’t grow up with Mr. Rogers and only know him as a legendarily kind figure of great renown, so seeing him depicted doesn’t do much for me. I had this same sort of apathy issue with Won’t You Be My Neighbor? last year, which was sweet but largely ineffectual for me. I…

definitely more for adults who have memories of watching it... I'm a 90's baby I've seen episodes when i was young so i was able to understand but anyone born after 2k wont see it as a value like the mid early 90's and earlier adults.

I like to believe Mr. Rogers was the kind of person who wouldn't want a movie made about his life. By centering the movie on another character, screenwriters did a flawless job sharing the impact Mr. Rogers made on each individual person.

Great movie due to Mr Rogers element but less about him and more about someone else. Should have shown both sides equally and it's a balancing act which they don't pull of but definitely one of Tom Hanks finest roles.

While A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is charmingly filmed (I loved the animated depictions of the toy Neighborhood, and the way Heller switches camera formats to give a more old-school portrayal of Rogers’ TV show), it didn’t quite have the emotional wallop I expected.

One is left wanting to know more about Mr. Rogers, but the film reduces him to little more than a kind of superhero family therapist.

As Mister Rogers, Tom Hanks does something very important, besides looking and sounding enough like Fred Rogers that we can accept him in the role. He captures the supreme self-confidence it takes to be that nice and giving.
