A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is a 2019 American biographical drama film directed by Marielle Heller and written by Micah Fitzerman-Blue and Noah Harpster, inspired by the 1998 article "Can You Say... Hero?" by Tom Junod, published in Esquire. The film stars Tom Hanks, Matthew Rhys, Susan Kelechi Watson, and Chris Cooper. It depicts Lloyd Vogel (Rhys), a journalist for Esquire who is assigned to profile beloved television icon Fred Rogers (Hanks).

The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2019, and is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on November 22, 2019, by Sony Pictures Releasing. It received critical acclaim, with praise for the performances (particularly that of Hanks and Rhys), Heller's direction, screenplay, and its heart-warming messages.

It's cute enough. Hanks and Rhys are both great. The entire thing feels a little slight though.

A charming and really enjoyable feel good movie. Tom Hanks is great at playing Mr. Rogers and Matthew Rhys is a very solid lead. I loved the fact that this wasn't a straightforward biopic, and that we got to see how this one guys whole life was impacted and changed just by meeting Fred Rogers.

B+

Felt like a TV movie that got lucky that Tom Hanks wanted to be in it. He is great though, one of his best performances of 2000s.
