Lloyd Vogel is an investigative journalist who receives an assignment to profile Fred Rogers, aka Mr. Rogers. He approaches the interview with skepticism, as he finds it hard to believe that anyone can have such a good nature. But Roger's empathy, kindness and decency soon chips away at Vogel's jaded outlook on life, forcing the reporter to reconcile with his own painful past.

Tom Hanks is the perfect choice for this (role), someone we all associate with the same warmth and affection as Rogers. A very uplifting film, that gives you a bit of faith in just how good people can be.

Rated: 4/5

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

Beautifully set-up...a really strange, really interesting, really oddly-uplifting film...

…half holy-fool, half Jedi-mentor, Fred Rogers is an amusing character whose memory nails this gentle, controlled drama tightly to a heartfelt, feel-good path…

Chances are you will come out of A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood either abundantly cheery or in a puddle of tears. But you will certainly come out feeling a little wiser and kinder of heart.

There’s a sweetness to the script unlike anything I’ve seen this year even though the focus is on Vogel’s life. Truth be told, the essence of Fred Rogers- his kindness and care for beings- is felt even when he is not on screen.

Kind of boring. Thought it was going to more about Mr. Roger's, but instead it was about the guy interviewing him

Beautiful, moving, fitting portrayal of an American icon, though he's not actually the main character.

Maybe it was because it had so much hype, but I kinda thought it was a little too sweet.

It’s difficult for a film to portray goodness without becoming mawkish or Pollyanna, but somehow this film achieves this. Tom Hanks is perfect for this role. I thought it an excellent film and an antidote to the nastiness and violence of much that is offered in cinema these days.
