WHERE IS THE GRAVITAS IN MARY POPPINS?

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2018)

A Disney movie with Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, Colin Farrell, and Paul Giamatti; how can you go wrong? This is a film about Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) getting the rights to Mary Poppins from author P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson). Ms. Travers has daddy issues which manifest itself in the character of Mr. Banks. While she is giving the Disney production team a hard time, she relives moments from her childhood which makes it difficult for her to let go of Mary, the only family she has left.
While we know how the movie ends, the magic was getting to that point. Excellent performances from the cast that will allow you to shed a tear of joy at the end.
