A fantastic emotional film

Rating: 9/10 (27 April 2016)

I have heard allot of great things about this film and it is truly a fantastic film. The premise of the film sees the author of mary poppins in a dispute with walt Disney about what vision they see for the character. Emma thompson plays pl travers the author of mary poppins and she does a really good job. At first she seems a bit unlikeable but as the film progresses she gets captured in the magic and you see her become more likable but you understand her feelings because of how she feels about these characters. Tom hanks plays walt Disney and he does a great job in this film. He is just a really likable guy who wants to give people what they want and whether this film is truly accurate but I don't really care because he does a great job and the leads chemistry is great. Paul giamatti plays travers driver and even though it's not the biggest role he is crucial because he adds humanity to travers character and he brings great brightness to this film. Colin Farrell in this film is absolutely fantastic in this film, he delivers a performance of Oscar calibre because of the layers he has and the great performance he gives. Everybody else does a great job with there being no bad performance in the whole film. The story has great intrigue to it, even though from the description you would think its a bit dull it just really isn't. It has depth to it's narrative and fleshes out the characters so you care about them. The script has great dialogue with some well placed humour in it but so much great drama that really put this film above good. The style has perfect tone for the subject matter. However, my main negative for this film is the pacing is a bit slow and drags at times plus the ending is pretty abrupt. Overall this is a fantastic movie that is definitely worth a watch especially if your a fan of mary poppins.
