A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood Movie Review
A Fantastic Heartwarming Film
I just got back from seeing A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood with my dad, and I have to say, this is a great film!
This film is based on a true story in 1998 when journalist Lloyd Vogel (Matthew Rhys) is assigned to do an article on Mr. Rogers (Tom Hanks). The film follows Lloyd as he writes his article while dealing with his own family issues while developing a friendship with Mr. Rogers.
This is a beautiful film and probably one of my favorite performances from Tom Hanks. I didn't see much promotional material for this film going in, and I was surprised to see Matthew Rhys in this film. The music is fantastic, the acting is fantastic, and just the overall tone of the film is great!
I'm going to admit something which you might not be happy about dear reader, and that is that I've never once watched Mr. Rogers show as of writing this. Yeah yeah, I know I know, I probably should have seen it by now. I just haven't. I don't have I reason, it's something I just never watched or knew about when I was a kid. I'll make up for it and watch an episode at some point though.
I do want to applaud the actors in A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood, cause they all did such a great job. I swear, this is perhaps my favorite Tom Hanks performance. He does such a great job in this film, I'm almost at a loss for words. I don't think you could have picked a better actor to portray Mr. Rogers (I have seen clips, just not full episodes ok). Also, Matthew Rhys did a great job as well. I really like seeing him in other projects and I think he did an excellent job.
The music in this film is really topnotch. It never misses a beat and always lands when it's supposed to. The cinematography is well crafted and every shot does such a wonderful job at conveying the tone of the film. The lighting is also well done, and so is the sound design.
Marielle Heller did a great job with directing this film. I think she knew what she was after and she caught it. In a way, I think a better point would be to phrase it is, she captured a moment. This moment was really beautiful.
If you're looking for a movie to see and nothing looks great at the theater, I highly recommend going to see A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood. I was not disappointed with this film, but on the contrary, pleasantly surprised. I'm a bit of a sucker for heartwarming films and A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood is.
final score: 4.9/5
