Goodbye Christopher Robin was a very good retelling of how the famous stories came about. Margot Robbie and Domhnall Gleeson played their characters very well. Showing becoming a famous author is not all fun and games. Wil Tilston plays youngGoodbye Christopher Robin was a very good retelling of how the famous stories came about.

Wil Tilston plays young Christopher Robin with the perfect mix of charm, innocence and aggression that you could ever want. This is a film you need to see.… Expand

Alan Alexander Milne (Domhall Gleeson) returns from the World War I to his beloved wife Daphne (Margot Robbie). Three years later, the couple has a boy, whose name is known to every child on the planet - Christopher Robin Milne. He was one ofAlan Alexander Milne (Domhall Gleeson) returns from the World War I to his beloved wife Daphne (Margot Robbie). Three years later, the couple has a boy, whose name is known to every child on the planet - Christopher Robin Milne. He was one of the character in the most famous series about the bear Winnie the Pooh written by his father-writer. But a very few people know that behind the process of creating this fairytales was a tragic story that changed the destinies of Milne and his son.

Simon Curtis in the director's chair and it means that film will support by beautiful cinematography and sentimentalism. As in his previous films ("My Week with Marilyn", "Woman in Gold"). But this movie about the border of public creativity and personal life, about where to stop and do not translate the child's fantasy into commerce. And let the methods of the british director are obvious and chaotic sometimes, but he was able to show the sold childhood of a writer's son. Milne just tried to give the world a fairytale, which world needed so much, he did it all. A beautiful film that skillfully speaks about what had to go through both Alan Milne and Christopher Robin Milne before revealing the adventures of Winnie the Pooh.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw this previewed when I went to see Victoria & Abdul (which is a must see, in my opinion). I immediately connected to it because of my affection for Winnie the Pooh. However, upon seeing Goodbye Christopher Robin, I feel a wanting for more. I wished there was more drama, especially with the orneriness of Christopher's mother and the way Blue dropped CR off at that boarding school. Perhaps the film was true to the integrity of the story, or perhaps the movie's real message is lost on me. Regardless, it was a cute movie. I'm glad to have seen it, but I'm not chomping at the bit to see it again (nor recommending it to a friend).… Expand

The acting is fine but this film is very dull and not particularly well-written.
