Review of Saving Mr. Banks (2013) by Lucie H — 07 Aug 2014
Poignant, touching, and compelling; it may be an overlong Disney advertisement, but it also tells the story of haunted pasts and hopeful futures. Emma Thompson portrayed a fussy but not stereotypical P.
L Travers, and Tom Hanks a convincing Walt. However, Colin Farrell takes the cake as the charming and troubled Travers Goff, earnestly portraying Pamela's loving alcoholic father. Overall, whilst the film might have skimmed over a few truths, it is surprisingly mature and sentimental, bringing on both smiles and (maybe) a few tears.
