A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood (PG)
Wednesday 14th July & Thursday 15th July (Matinee)
Tom Hanks plays the cherished US children’s TV star Fred Rogers in this surprisingly moving drama about his transformative encounter with a hard-bitten reporter.
Director Marielle Heller and screenwriters Noah Harpster and Micah Fitzerman-Blue have adroitly set up the tightrope that Tom Hanks has to walk across, stretching it between irony and belief, and the result is a really entertaining and touching film. And the moment when the kids on the New York subway spot Mr Rogers and start singing his theme tune to him, with adult passengers and cops joining in well, I reckon I must have got something in my eye. (Peter Bradshaw Guardian).
The habit of irony might lead you to suspect that some awful revelation is on the way. It isn’t. Hanks brilliantly portrays Rogers’s innocence, at once elderly and childlike, his imperviousness to cynicism, his savant gift for sensing people’s unhappiness, together with a politician’s courtly way with interviewers that a certain kind of showbiz savvy has taught him. There’s a gripping restaurant scene in which Rogers asks Vogel to remain silent for one minute and reflect on the people who made him who he is. For a long, long moment Hanks looks into the camera with an unreadable expression, perhaps inviting us, the audience, to do the same.
Please state Wednesday or Thursday. Tickets Pre-booked £5 or £5.50 on door.
