This is not a children’s story about a child. It’s an adult story about a family. Goodbye Christopher Robin illuminates the rather gloomy profile of author A.A. Milne and his family—principally his son, Christopher Robin—and the inspiration behind Winnie the Pooh and its wild success.

Whatever pre-conceived optimisms you have about this film, toss them out and refresh your expectations. This is not the snuggly-wuggly, starry-eyed portrayal you may have hoped for.

Anytime something bills itself as the ‘untold story’, there’s a danger it means the quite boring story that we’ve jazzed up and embellished a bit. What starts as a true tale becomes a slightly unbelievable feast of easter eggs, nudges and winks relating to whatever intellectual property the film is tied to.
