Popcorn Culture - Review: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

This biopic of treasured children’s TV personality Fred Rogers - which stars another immensely likeable American icon, Tom Hanks - never made it to the Malaysian cinemas. The movie begins with a rather sceptical investigative journalist (Matthew Rhys) being assigned to interview Rogers, and intertwines both their journeys into a tale of empathy and kindness. As it premieres on streaming, we take the opportunity to review the film, which netted Hanks an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
