A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD – Review by Martha K Baker

Take one jaded reporter, add one children’s pastor, and stir. That’s the formula for “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.” The title for the film comes from one of the Rev. Fred Rogers’ own little songs. The formula works, in part, because it retains strands of the original story, pounded out by writer Tom Junod.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD – Review by MaryAnn Johanson

November 24, 2019November 28, 2019 MaryAnn Johanson 0 Comments Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Fred Rogers, wont you be my neighbor

I started sobbing from the opening moments of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, and I didn’t stop crying for two hours. This film wrecked me. Utterly wrecked me. In the best possible way. It was speaking to me in that same way that Mister Rogers always magically seemed to be doing from out of the TV when I was little kid.

Tom Hanks as Fred Rogers? Yep, it works—it works so well you’ll start shaking your head in utter wonderment as Tom Hanks has channeled Fred Rogers—his mannerisms, his quiet demeanor, his uncanny listening abilities, his deep curiosity into people’s lives, and his perceptive insight into a person’s soul.
