Film
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Tom Hanks portrays iconic children’s television host Fred Rogers in a new film based on the real-life friendship between Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. When a cynical reporter for Esquire (Rhys) is assigned to write a profile of Rogers, he finds that after spending time with America’s most beloved neighbor, he eventually overcomes his skepticism and learns some fundamental life lessons about kindness, love, and forgiveness. Marielle Heller (Can You Ever Forgive Me?, The Diary of a Teenage Girl) directs this timely tale of kindness triumphing over cynicism.
