A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - Reviews

...Hanks convincingly imitates the mannerisms of the former minister-turned-childhood staple.

...brings that essential essence of Fred Rogers to life. That sense of wonder, of kindness, and most importantly of letting kids – and adults – know that it's OK to have been hurt.

...subtle, melancholy and deeply felt in its sincerity.

Hanks brilliantly, almost unnervingly recreates Rogers’s Thunderbirds-puppety way of moving and his sing-song voice, a variant on Forrest Gump.

...an ode to the power of gentle conversation...

...there’s a warm hug waiting for you in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, and one that arrives with far less sentimentality than expected.

...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.

We appreciate Mister Rogers even more after seeing this film, but I’m not sure we really got to know him any better.

...a poignant, powerful tribute to the man who embodied kindness and love to children and adults for four decades, thanks to Hanks' fabulous performance.

...a charming, heartwarming film that recalls the halcyon days of decency, of hope.

Tom Hanks is perfectly cast as the late Fred Rogers, America’s favourite neighbour.

...a touching portrait of a quiet icon of children’s TV

Filmen är ett paket fyllt med känslor, personlighet och knyts ihop med en ypperlig avslutningsscen.

Tom Hanks briljerar

...instruktør Marielle Heller iscenesætter den lette historie på detaljerig og opfindsom vis.
