Review of Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017) by Compi24 — 27 Mar 2020

Leaves a pleasant taste in your mouth with its ending, but struggles tremendously to find its footing at any other point. That's not to say it doesn't ever steady itself out, but it does so only sporadically, always looking to jar the audience with its inconsistent emotionality and uneven approach to who the hell the main character is supposed to be.

There's also an eyebrow-raising amount of enmity levied at the "Daphne Milne" character, some of which seems almost conspicuously biased and impossible to pin down in a historical context, ultimately leading to a general sense of doubt in this being as true as the filmmakers let on.

Domhnall Gleeson is a champ and Margot Robbie is as game as usual, but I just couldn't get as invested in this as anyone involved wanted me to.
