Goodbye Christopher Robin

Excellent movie. I recommend it. It makes you miss your childhood no matter how old you are. One the best movies I've seen in the last days.

I saw this on the plane. When I think of movies, I also remind myself that movies serve different purposes; be it entertain through humour, action, suspense or story telling, movies are here to capture our hearts, minds and fascination, hopefully a sprinkling of all things. As a kid, I was very fond of Winnie the Pooh and his gang of friends, so selecting this movie was out of curiousity and interest in the how/how it came about. I really enjoyed the story, it's ups and downs, the character development and how touching each phase of the movie and story is laid out. For me, an 8 is very high in my ranking system. Really enjoyed the movie and the story. In all it was quite moving and touching as well.

There is probably a decent movie in there, but too often this comes across as nothing more than a big budget tele-movie.

At the beginning I thought that this movie would be more solid, but it never managed to find a balance on the issues it handles and in the end it affects the result. The story is good and the actors do a good job as well, that's the reason why this movie doesn't fail.

Leaves a pleasant taste in your mouth with its ending, but struggles tremendously to find its footing at any other point. That's not to say it doesn't ever steady itself out, but it does so only sporadically, always looking to jar the audience with its inconsistent emotionality and uneven approach to who the hell the main character is supposed to be. There's also an eyebrow-raising amount of enmity levied at the "Daphne Milne" character, some of which seems almost conspicuously biased and impossible to pin down in a historical context, ultimately leading to a general sense of doubt in this being as true as the filmmakers let on. Domhnall Gleeson is a champ and Margot Robbie is as game as usual, but I just couldn't get as invested in this as anyone involved wanted me to.
