From a bitter woman comes a magical tale.

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2015)

All I could think was how could a woman who was so disgustingly rude create such a fanciful lovely character. Boo hoo, just because you have a tough childhood that does not mean you get a free pass in life. The way she treated Walt Disney and the Disney family was disgraceful. All she did was write a few books, Walt Disney on the other hand created dreams. So while I may not like the woman who created Mary Poppins I do love the story.
The subject matter may not be likable but Saving Mr. Banks is a really good movie. It's beautifully told and acted. Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson were most certainly the perfect choices for their respective roles. Even Colin Farrell does a good job at portraying Mrs Travers pathetic father. So it's a sad story, something I wasn't expecting but nevertheless a really good movie.
