Coming Soon to
Town Hall Cinemas
109 mins |
Rated
PG (Violence & coarse language)
Directed by Marielle Heller
Starring Matthew Rhys, Tammy Blanchard, Wendy Makkena, Enrico Colantoni, Tom Hanks, Chris Cooper
Two-time Oscar®-winner Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, 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) is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers,
he overcomes his scepticism, learning about empathy, kindness, and decency from America’s most beloved neighbour.
WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING
"This drama is a poignant, powerful tribute to the man who's embodied kindness and love to children and adults for four decades, thanks to Hanks' fabulous performance." - Common Sense Media
"Sometimes movies are good, whereas sometimes they can be great. This film is even better than that! Because of this, it is definitely a popcorn movie and certainly a popcorn classic. This is a movie that will only get better with age, testified by the fact that I kept repeating to myself, "I can't wait to watch this again" all throughout the movie." - Bret Litke
