Director: Marielle Heller Stars: Tom Hanks, Matthew Rhys, Chris Cooper What's It About? Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood, a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. Any Good? IMDB User Rating 7.9/10 Metascore (Critics Rating) 8/10 Total Films Jane Crowther scored it 8/10 and wrote: For those seeking comfort, kindness and a sense of cherishing in a turbulent world that seems to reward cruelty over caring, A Beautiful Day will be cinematic balm. Surrender to it and bring tissues. MGN Review Perhaps being British and unfamilar with the aforementioned Mr Rogers I am missing something. The movie is superbly shot and acted but as a drama never really gets going. It's nice but to a British audience anyway it may lack the appeal it has to the US audience and critics who in the main rate it very highly. Well put together quite uplifting but a little bland in general. MGN Rating 6.5/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VLEPhfEN2M |
