Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood, a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer (Emmy® winner Matthew Rhys, 2018 Best Actor in a Drama Series, The Americans) is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his skepticism, learning about kindness, love and forgiveness from America’s most beloved neighbour.

The real Fred Rogers was an ordained Presbyterian minister who believed that his children’s show was a pulpit of sorts, from which he preached Jesus’ message of unconditional love and boundless mercy (albeit without mentioning Jesus’ name). This movie retains not just that message, but hints at the quiet faith that lay beneath it.

We see Fred pray, sometimes to Lloyd’s discomfort. His Bible makes an appearance or two. And when he talks to a dying man, he asks for the man to pray for him. When Lloyd says that was a kind thing for Fred to do - knowing that this little act of faith would make the dying man feel a sense of purpose - Fred looks at him aghast: Anyone who’s going through what that dying fellow is going through must be especially close to God, Fred says.

    Tom Hanks plays Fred Rogers not well known in the UK ( though my own daughter knew him!). Depicts a Christ-like man who is to be interviewed by a well known critic and journalist. What happens is unexpected, but turns out to be a life learning experience for the journalist. A good family film.

    Tom Hanks is usual brilliant self in immersing himself in a character. Although a true story I found some of the scenes being produced for children's viewing rather unbelievable and slightly ' nauseating. The overall adult expect of the journalist's transformation was good. My husband did not enjoy the film but I liked smevaspects of the f I have given our copy to be handed on by our vicar to anyone who may wish to see it.
