Goodbye Christopher Robin Flim Review

Finished watching Goodbye Christopher Robin, directed by Simon Curtis and starring Domhnall Gleeson, Margot Robbie, Will Tilston, Alex Lawther and Kelly Macdonald. The film opens in Second World War England as writer A. A. Mine (Domhnall Gleeson) receives a letter that gives him horrifying flashbacks to the First World War and how coming back home to his wife Daphne (Margot Robbie) was difficult. After the birth of their son Christopher Robin (Will Tilston and Alex Lawther) Daphne becomes distant as she doesn't what Christopher to good and fight another war just like his father. Years later Mine is still adjusting to life at home he decides to move to the countryside where he later finds himself spending time with his son when Daphne leaves him due to not writing anything and the nanny Olive (Kelly Macdonald) having to go spend time with her mother who has fallen ill. This is where Mine finds himself getting the inspiration to write Winnie-the-Pooh. Overall this was a great film as it dives into the life of writer A. A. Mine showing how he tried to deal with coming home after the First World War and where his inspiration for Winnie-the-Pooh came from and how that effected his family's life. The character interactions between the whole cast is great as the relationships between the characters feel very realistic which helps to make the more emotionally driven parts of the film have more of an impact thanks to how well the cast work together. 8/10.
