Review
"Two tips for all who see the film: Brush up on the books (and also Milne's beloved poem 'Vespers') before going, in order to appreciate all the inside references, and pack your hankies. You'll need 'em."--Variety"By all means surrender to its portrait of an earlier era of toxic celebrity culture, and also to the bracing nastiness of the central performances."--Los Angeles Times"Goodbye Christopher Robin' touches something bigger than its own ambitions. It touches, in a way movies rarely do, on some essential current of life."--San Francisco Chronicle

Summary
A rare glimpse into the relationship between beloved children's author A. A. Milne and his son Christopher Robin, whose toys inspired the magical world of Winnie the Pooh. 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, what will the cost be to the family?
