A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood's reviews
Media reviews
The Playlist
Around the two men, Heller creates a world that blurs the lines between every form of communication to serve the panoramic impact of her sensitive, almost magical design.
The Wrap
'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood' finds a gentle state of grace and shows the courage and smarts to stay in that zone, never rushing things or playing for drama.
Indiewire
'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood' doesn?t reinvent the Rogers mythos, and even its innovative devices fall short of rescuing the material from some of the more obvious revelations.
The Guardian
Rogers always was respectful with his audience no matter his age was, something Heller achieves too without the mellow overdose that maybe other directos would have used.
The Hollywood Reporter
There?s no question that Hanks is perfect in the part. Marielle Heller's film itself, however, is a rather more modest achievement, sympathetic and yet entirely predictable in its dramatic trajectory of making a believer of an angry, cynical journalist.
Fotogramas
There are emotions on the surface (...) it has an incredible script (...) it's an excellent drama about the human relationships (...) the interpretative duel between Matthew Rhys and Tom Hanks is another present.
Screen Daily
It's like a therapy group but in a film, teaching popular wisdom with a song and a smile.
