A very sweet film

Rating: 9/10 (10 August 2014)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Saving Mr. Banks" (2013) is a very sweet, heart warming film. I haven't see Mary Poppins (1964), but it didn't distracted me from watching "Saving Mr. Banks" - you don't have to see or read an actual Mary Poppins to like this film, although if did see the movie and read the book, than "Saving Mr. Banks" is not to be missed.
The acting is great, especially from Emma Thompson who steals the show as P.L. Travers, the author of "Mary Poppins". Other actors did a solid job. The score of this film is very good, very uplifting and sets the mood of the entire picture. And the story itself of "Saving Mr. Banks" was a very involving, it actually tells two stories simultaneously and both of them are interesting and kinda moving.
Overall, i give "Saving Mr. Banks" 9/10 for a great acting, terrific score, interesting and true story, good directing. After this film has ended, i thought of seeing a 1964 classic by myself. A very solid film.
