Review of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) by Trineo99 — 23 Nov 2019

First of all, the trailers and posters might have you believe this film is mainly about Mr. Rogers but no it isn’t. The movie mainly follows Lloyd and what’s going on in his personal life and I really enjoyed it.

Do I wish that the advertisements were more accurate to the actual movie topic sure but I understand their decision on why because of money. But honestly it was an interesting story to watch and I enjoyed it.

This is also helped by everybody in this movie giving it their all. I’m too young to have watched the actual show growing up but I have seen clips from it and Tom Hanks just does an incredible job as always and I really hope he at least gets an Oscar nomination for best-supporting actor.

I mean he pretty much embodied Mr. Rogers and his mannerisms and it makes for an amazing performance. Matthew Rhys does an amazing job as Llyod. Every time you saw them on screen together it was glorious because you can see how different they are but how they are also helping each other.

This movie was well directed, Marielle Heller, and shot. There were so many shots in this movie that I just thought to myself we need more of this in the world. There is one scene that I feel like everybody needs to check out and do at least once in their life.

I did enjoy how it was filmed as if it was his show and we were just watching an hour forty-nine-minute long episode. The score by Nate Heller is an excellent one. In the end, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is a movie that we need in this day and age and no matter how old you are I think everybody should check out this movie at least once.
