December Film: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood





Our December pick, which stars Tom Hanks, whose judgment I always trust when choosing a film for our club, is A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. It's a much-praised, fact-based, tale about an encounter with the beloved Fred Rogers children's TV host that turned the life of a depressed journalist (Matthew Rhys, who starred in The Americans TV series) around. Suffice to say that the movie is anything but a treacly bon bon.
