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.

Storyline

The inspiration for the children’s books Winnie the Pooh finds its base in the real relationship between a father and his son.

Additional Thanks

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. This film far surpasses the movie, Christopher Robin (2018). Very sweet work.
