I’ve heard that the most significant dramatic current in Marielle Heller‘s A Beautiful Day in the Neighorhood has a bit less to do with Tom Hanks’ Fred Rogers and somewhat more to do with Matthew Rhys as magazine profiler Lloyd Vogel. Vogel (based on the real-life Tom Junod), has been assigned to write a profile piece on Rogers, but his longstanding aloofness and resentment towards his father gets in the way. That aside, it’s a good trailer. And that score by Nate Heller!
