A wooden, charismatic portrayal of Domhnall Gleeson as the WWI veteran who rose to worldwide fame as the author of the stories about Winnie the Pooh and his friends, a caricatured portrayal of Margot Robbie as his insufferable wife (what do they see in each other?) and a too cute Will Tilston as their son who modeled for Christopher Robinson, indicate that Simon Curtis's directing leaves much to be desired. This superficial biography only manages to score points when Kelly McDonald and Richard McCabe [as the nanny and illustrator] appear. Moreover, the last hour is a mess in which the film quickly rushes through the story of Christopher Robin as a young adult [an ungrateful role for Alex Lawther].

The story behind the story of Winnie the Pooh. The film is primarily a war film without war. Nice to see how WWI had an effect on writer AA Milne, among others, who was greatly underestimated, especially by those who stayed at home. It must have had its consequences when writing Winnie the Pooh. How that comes about seems a bit obvious here and there, but it's part of this fairytale-like story that drags you along in a childlike simplicity. To then wake up in an overwhelming world of success. It's no longer an intimate story for AA Milne and his son, because it is for the rest of the world. After halfway through the movie, it kind of falls apart. But overall, this is a pretty good movie. Although it never has the charm of the original children's story itself.

Boring.

Rather dry filming of the origins of Winnie the Pooh. The short interlude in which that world is effectively designed is the best part of the film, but it is handled rather quickly. The focus then is on two very unsympathetic parents - the stiff Domnhal Gleeson who plays the dad and a caricatured Margot Robbie as an egocentric attention whore. It was difficult for me to get into the film, partly due to watching very unsympathetic people. Scenes with Kelly Macdonald are therefore welcome changes. The way the young adult Billy Moon is handled is laughable: fast-fast just to show it. A little bit of reading afterwards also quickly shows that it all turned out slightly differently.
