GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN (Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, London UK 2017)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

Goodbye Christopher Robin—one of the better bio-flicks—has terrific marketability due to the directing skills of Director Simon Curtis (Woman in Gold, My Week With Marilyn) who ably captured the relationship between a father and his son. This is a very good bio flick and completely worth watching.
