Review of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) by Jackronner — 24 Nov 2019
What a pleasure it is to (all too rarely of late) not have to warn folks away from a movie with a review. Kudos to director Marielle Heller for her craftsmanship and subtle conceits throughout. The framework of the movie itself takes the form of a typically healing episode of the show, a movie within a movie, beginning with Mr.
Rogers' classic entrance, then shifting to predominantly feature the grown child that needs his understanding, wonderfully played by Matthew Rhys. Like me, he was too old to have been familiar with Mr.
Rogers, so he was a revelation to both of us as we discovered the type of benign influence he had on generations of children. We all learn that everyone of us has an inner child that sometimes needs a kind shoulder and guiding hand.
We're never to old for that.
