Atom User Reviews for A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood

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.

This movie is like a walk through the most precious, priceless God given gifts we have, time and love. INVALUABLE GIFTS

Bring tissue.

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.

I needed that 🥺

Wonderful. Great story. Wonderfully acted. Just a great film.

Thank you Tom Hanks and THANK YOU Mr. Rogers!!

will change your life

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.

this movie is a must see very emotional and inspiring make sure to bring tissues

Must see

This movie is exceptional, so much better than my expectations.

Went with my daughter (47) and her husband same age. My two grandsons 12 & 17. The parents and oldest graNdson watched Mr Rogers when they were little, and not little. I watched with my daughter everyday when she was small, and i must admit I watched it myself after she started school!❤️. The world coUld really use Some Mr Rogers today. The whole cast was wonderful, but Tom Hanks WAS Fred Rogers!

They told a story of Mr Rodgers that seemed to explore new territory. Especially for those unfamiliar with the article this film was based on.

Found it to be a very inspiring movie.

the best movie I have seen this year and I saw all big movies that came out this year.

I grew up watching Mr. Rogers so watching this movie was everything. I cried while silently singing along with his famous opening and closing songs from the show. Tom Hanks had all of Fred Rogers gestures everything down pat.

Wow. Just wow. Cried my eyes out, make sure to bring tissues.

The best movie of the year.

The movie of the decade! A must see.

A MUST see movie!!! Loved It!

Absolutely loved it! A beautiful story of the power of patience, kindness and forgiveness.

Watch it at home if you’re already having a miserable holiday

Brought tears to my eyes.

A wonderful story and an incredible man.

I would give it more stars if I had the option!!!

Couldn't stop thinking about it.

There were a few strange parts and the ending didn’t leave you all happy, but overall I enjoyed it and would watch it again.

Amazing! Would watch it over and over. A real life hero vs. a make believe one from another planet or a spider bite...I like all kind of heroes (real or not), but this all human one TOPS ALL!

Reliving childhood memories

Tom Hanks does a fantastic job Co-Starring in a fil about a sad, angry journalist writing an article about the Pittsburgh hero Fred Rogers. It strike emotional cords because it deals with emotions and situations that a lot of us have had to deal with. This movie captures everything Mr. Rogers was about.

This movie made me want to be a better person.

Best movie I think I’ve ever seen! Can not recommend this movie high enough... everyone needs to see it!

Creative way of telling a loving, humble National Icon.

It wasn't quite what I expected and that's okay. This movie is about how one person can make a difference. Life is messy and to quote Ellen, we should be kind to one another. This movie exemplifies how one individual's kindness influenced someone in unexpected ways. Two thumbs way up.

Amazing and there isn’t enough stars for this movie.

Great story. Tom Hanks played Fred Rogers very well!

Tom Hanks was mr. Fred Rogers. The actor who played the reporter from Esquire magazine was also very good.

Despite the marketing, this is not ideal for kids, they will be bored out of their mind. My kids thought it was just uncomfortably awkward and slow. That said, it’s a Great movie with great message, but better suited for older audience. Tom hanks nailed it.

I really enjoyed this movie

I cried 4 times

Excellent! We need more people like Mr Rogers

Great movie but not what I expected. Thought it would be more about Mr. Roger’s life but only partially so.

It’s different in a good way from the show. It is a slow moving movie.

Wonderful film. Really needed that.

This is an amazing story of Mr. Rogers being interviewed by a journalist who would have preferred to interview someone else. The movie brings out the feelings of the two men and how they forged a friendship.

Growing up watch Mr. Rodgers took me back in time. Tom Hanks is a prefect fit for Mr. Rodgers!

There were times that I forgot I was watching Tom Hanks portraying Fred Rogers because he did such a great job. This was touching and honest and the dialogue and innuendos were spot on. As the mother of two estranged daughters, I could easily feel the anguish of the dying father and pray that one day both will come back to me before I die.

I was pleasantly surprised with Beatiful Day. I really feel the writing was the overall best I have witnessed in several years. Well done.

Must see if one is holding grudges.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is no biopic but a very narrowly cast reimagining of one specific relationship late in the life of a noted person.

Slate

It’s as cosy as Mr Rogers’ trademark zip-up cardigan, but the sweetness of this film about the beloved US children’s television personality is tempered by the inventive eccentricity of its approach.

There’s no question that Hanks is perfect in the part, as the actor’s amiability and unquestionable sincerity make for an ideal match with the unique television personality. Marielle Heller's film itself, however, is a rather more modest achievement, sympathetic and yet entirely predictable in its dramatic trajectory of making a believer of an angry, cynical journalist.
