This film tells the story of how the author A.A. Milne came up with his wildly popular childnre's book, and the way this book changed his life.
The first half of the film is very slow, and in fact it really makes me rather bored. How he gets the idea of Winnie the Pooh really does not need that long to be told. The second half is engaging and captivating, as it tells the unimaginable impact of the books. The final scenes about Christopher Robin as a teenager is simply heartbreaking. These scenes highlights the strong emotional bonds among the characters, and their effect on the viewers. The adolescent Christopher Robin saves the film for me.
