Brilliant

Rating: 8/10 (9 December 2013)

This is a thoroughly engaging film with stellar performances from its cast, especially Emma Thompson who is just wonderful. She must surely be at least 'nominated' for a host of awards for this role. Discovering the 'origins' of Mary Poppins wasn't exactly on my movie hit list but on a wet winter's afternoon in northern England and a wife who wanted to see the film, what was I to do? I was, in the end, so pleased that circumstance (and my wife)had taken me to the cinema. The humour is side splitting, the drama tragic - take some tissues with you because one way or the other, you will cry.
