GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN

GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN:  A fascinating film about the life of A. A. Milne and how he came to write of  Winnie the Pooh. Staring a cast of mostly unknowns (at least to me), the movie show us the joys and woes of obtaining celebrity status and how it affected the young Christopher Robin.   There is joy throughout the film but also a good deal of sadness as Christopher grows up and becomes unable to handle his "stardom."  Introducing Will Tilston as the young Christopher with Domhnall Gleeson aa Alan Milne and Margot Robbie as his wife, Daphne. And Kelly Macdonald plays the nanny to perfection caring for the young boy when his parents are too busy.....Be forewarned, bring your Kleenex. But. it's a good cry.
