Review of Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017) by Michaelobe — 23 Nov 2017

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 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.
