To me, this movie is perfection.

hyped garbage

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This film was on tv, i suppose in anticipation for the 'christopher robin' film about to open. I hope that film is less insufferable than this one. if there's one thing i can't stand, it's bratty little children. i would be OVERYJOYED if i had grown up with a parent who used me as an inspiration. Christopher Robin's resentfulness of being his father's inspiration is just plain ungrateful. It's heartbreaking to know in real life, he cut off communication with both parents. I won't say what they are, but there are some scenes C.R. deserved what he got. a lot of people have been blaming his parents, particularly his mother, for being cold but A) brits are cold and b) without spoiling it she had her own reasons for resenting the child. (that reason was stupid too, though) all in all, a film filled with unlikable character that ruined any chance of it being an enjoyable viewing experience.

I was a fan of Winnie the Pooh as a child and love the character as an adult. This movie was interesting to see the backstory of how Winnie came to life. Endearing that it had everything to do with his son. I thought this movie was good.

The true story of A.A. Milne's writing of the infamous WINNIE THE POOH stories has been successfully adapted for the screen by Frank Cottrell Boyce and Simon Vaughan. Simon Curtis directs a capable cast in a film that is both nostalgic and reflectively disturbing - as much a psychodrama as a biography. Interestingly enough, one of the primary memories the film touches is the devastatng effect war has on both soldiers and the general populace.First published in 1926, Winnie-the-Pooh brought hope and comfort to England after the First World War and became one of the best-loved children's books of all time. The film version of the life of A.A. Milne (Domhnall Gleeson), his son Christopher Robin (Will Tilston then Alex Lawther), his wife Daphne (Margot Robbie) and the nanny Olive (Kelly Macdonald) is a rare glimpse into the relationship between father and son and the impact of Milne's experience as a soldier in WW I. After a series of PTSD episodes Milne convinces his shrewish wife to move to the country for solace. Daphne becomes pregnant, detests ,the agony of childbirth, and enters her own shallow world of luxury while the recovering Milne ultimately writes children's stories based on his son Christopher Robin and his toys. Along with his mother Daphne and his nanny Olive, Christopher Robin and his family are swept up in the international success of the books; the enchanting tales bringing hope and comfort to England after the First World War. But with the eyes of the world on Christopher Robin the instant celebrity erodes Christopher's relationship to his parents, distances Milne, and feeds the need for society acceptance of Daphne. The cast is strong, the flashbacks of the war are gruesome making Christopher's decision to join the military when WW II comes round painful to watch and the film about the most popular children's stories ever written ends with a twinge of sadness. Still

Film is great. Can't help but feel a little but of animosity towards the mother and father after it all. The pretty much ruined their kids life. Also, seems that he never did forgive his parents for what they did to him in real life. Warning though. If you love winnie the pooh, this may just ruin the stories for you though. It's not the most romantic story ever told.
