This film is beautiful because of how Mr Rogers holds unconditional positive regard towards everyone. His serenity and compassion are infectious. A beautiful message is hidden deep inside. Neighborhood is like having a conversation with an old friend. Nothing really amazing or unexpected happens, but it's a pleasant experience that makes you feel warm inside. While Tom Hanks never quite disappears into the role of Fred Rogers, he emulates the spirit of Mr. Rogers and that seems to be just as effective. In fact, if more people emulated Mr. Rogers, this world would be a better place.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is a powerful and moving film about friendship and forgiveness. Based on a true story, investigative journalist Lloyd Vogel interviews children’s television entertainer Fred Rogers for an article, but it soon turns into something more as Rogers takes a personal interest in Vogel and his family. Both Tom Hanks and Matthew Rhys give great performances; particularly Hanks, who really captures the spirit and personality of Rogers. Additionally, director Marielle Heller does a brilliant job at homaging the look and feel of the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood show by integrating faux segments of the show as part of the film’s narrative. Incredibly creative and inspiring, A Beautiful Day in the Neighbor is a touching film with a positive message.

A wholesome movie that felt like it was missing something. It's fine but after seeing the documentary last year this wasn't as emotional. Tom Hanks as Mr. Rogers is perfect casting. I wish we got more of him.

I have never seen anything of mister roger (I'm Dutch and we didn't have it on television as far as i can remember), but nonetheless i think this captures the vision that is betrayed by mister rogers. I thought it was an amazing film and it really made me feel, I even teared up a bit (happy tears) when [spoiler]he asked us to think (for a minute) about the people who loved us[/spoiler] it was so amazingly "simple" yet so accurate and deep. I could go on and on but I think the only thing I could really say is go watch the movie and enjoy. PS: The cast was casted brilliantly and Tom Hanks and Matthew Rhys did an amazing job.

If there is something like a wholesome movie, then this is it. Being from Germany and not having any reference to the real Mr. Rogers I find it of surreal to have person being nice to basically everybody. But I guess that's one of the points of the movie and if everyone would just try to be more like that Mrs Rogers guy I think the world would be a nicer place.
