snake-96615 Who acts, dresses and looks like a girl. At first I thought this was Christopher's sister. He can't handle fame, want everybody and everything for himself. Selfish, self absorbed and self centered; he's as unpleasant a child as I've seen in a while. Not all his fault though because his parents were exactly the same. He grows up into a whimpy teenager who's even worse. The only one here who resembles a normal person is the nanny who wisely exits this horrid family when it's condidered betrayal when she starts dating a man; as if she shouldn't have a personal life. Dreary pathetic movie. I really question the mental state of the people who gave this dreck high marks.

jaynekranc I saw this film on a plane coming back from a trip to London, where oddly enough, I had been taken to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace by a tour guide named Alice. NOT a kid's film and I'm sure there was some misconception about that, but it's a wonderful film. Moves slowly in spots, but well acted and has a beautiful look to it. The mother was atrocious, and the dad misguided, and I don't know how realistic that was, but the film worked.

basyaehrman Absolutely beautifully made film. Very fine storytelling. The characters are written so well, so real. The atmosphere, the scenery, the emotions all jump off the page. This is wonderful cinema. And the acting is fantastic - specifically, this is Domhnall Gleeson's finest performance yet. Will Tilston, Margot Robbie, Kelly McDonald, Stephen Campbell, and Alex Lawther, as well as the other assorted actors all play their roles wonderfully.Enough humor is sprinkled throughout the film to keep it from being too intense, and the beauty - from a West End Ball to 100 Acre Wood - makes it delightful to look at and wish for. Yes, this is about the creator and inspiration behind Winnie the Pooh, but it's so much more. It's the story of a family, a couple, parents and son, a nanny, childhood fame, resilience, war and its futility, PTSD, and love. I don't think it strictly follows the story of the real Milnes, especially later in life, but the essence is true and this movie leaves you feeling uplifted. I'm so glad I bought it.

daithiwalker Film is great. Can't help but feel a little but of animosity towards the mother and father after it all. The pretty much ruined their kids life. Also, seems that he never did forgive his parents for what they did to him in real life. Warning though. If you love winnie the pooh, this may just ruin the stories for you though. It's not the most romantic story ever told.
