Review of Saving Mr. Banks (2013) by Hugh R — 07 Mar 2015
Quikie Review.
Well acted, well scripted, well shot, great narrative, good sense of flow, and you get a sense of where the characters are coming from and why. I enjoyed every minute of this movie. It was exceptionally nice to hear actual recordings of P.L. Travers, from the scripting sessions for "Mary Poppins", during the credits so you can see how NOT exaggerated the character was in the movie. The movie wisely steered clear of how badly Travers reacted to "Poppins" publicly after its premiere and instead focused on the more redeeming aspects of the story. It also makes the person of Travers more forgivable and lovable than she was in real life as well as glossing over some of harsher, and apparently unfounded, rumors surrounding Disney himself. A wonderful movie.
