A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019)
Directed by Marielle Heller this film inspired by real events stars Tom Hanks, Matthew Rhys and Susan Kelechi Watson. A cynical journalist is assigned the task of profiling a wholesome television presenter.
I think this film does a really good job of capturing something of the tone of Mr Roger's show and beliefs. Where I feel the film lets me down is that it never really presses deep enough into who Mr Rogers is, his struggles or how he became who he is. If you are content with something that is surface level warm and fuzzy then this is the film for you.
3/5
