Goodbye Christopher Robin

Without a doubt one of the best films released in my lifetime. I absolutely love A.A. Milne and I believe that if every adult continues to read the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, the world would be a better place. Like millions of other people, these stories were part of my childhood, and as I grew up, I began to research more about the man who created them. I found the life of Alan Milne just as fascinating as the books. His background definitely played a part in how deep these children's stories are. While they may be deep, they're never dark, which is an astonishing achievement from an author who suffered with post traumatic stress.

Every part of this film works wonderfully. The acting is superb by every member of the cast, the camera work and lighting is second to none. The editing is phenomenal. The music helps create the nostalgic atmosphere of the whole film. But the storytelling is what makes it work so well.

It really is an emotional journey through the past, especially for anyone who cares so much about the people who are portrayed in the film. There's references from the original stories throughout the film (which shows what inspired him to put these ideas in.) But I think even for those who are not as familiar with the books, it is still a magnificent film. It will certainly give any viewer a better appreciation of the Milne family and the wonderful world of Winnie-the-Pooh.

This certainly changed my perspective when I think of Winnie the Pooh now, I grew up with Pooh thinking how cool to be Christopher Robin. I guess I had that very wrong. I liked this movie. Though part of me wishes I had never seen it, as I will never be quite so happy when I think of Winnie the Pooh.

I must say this movie is a great watch,how the greatest children's book Winnie-The-Pooh was made,the hidden pain from going to war and how this brought out this amazing story to the world!!! Amazing performance from some amazing actor's....

A really beautiful movie, up there with some favourites. I would definitely watch again and again. The young boy who played a Billy Moon is simply delightful.

What a wonderful surprise. Domhnall Gleason is excellent along with the rest of the cast. This is a great well put together story.

Loved it since the first minutes of the movie.

Beautifully made film evokes a time and a place, as well as the magic and hardships brought about by Winnie the Pooh! Thoroughly enjoyable, heart warming and sometimes a little sad.

The saddest story about the happiest thing in post war England. Great performances. Lovely English countryside. A well written, if tragic, story. We apologize, Billy Moon. I give this film a 7.9 (beautifully sad) out of 10. Not a story for children. [Historical drama]

A very interesting film, as a fan of the Winnie the Pooh stories, I didn't know much about A. A Milne or his son. It was a very different family dynamic to how I imagined. The film was poignant, but also very sad at times. It's not the best film in the World, but it is worth a watch.

Kelly McDonald once again is standing out among an already great cast.
