A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD isn’t a typical biopic, because it doesn’t follow its central character through an extended portion of their life. Instead, the movie focuses on the transformational friendship between Esquire magazine journalist Lloyd Vogel (a character who’s based on real-life writer Tom Junod and played by Matthew Rhys ) and Fred Rogers ( Tom Hanks ).
