Saving Mr Banks (2013)
Directed by John Lee
Hancock this film based on a true story stars Emma Thompson, Tom
Hanks, Paul Giamatti and Colin Farrell. Walt Disney attempts to get
the rights to adapt Mary Poppins to the screen from prickly author P.
L. Travers.
As is often the case
it seems that what really happens tends to have been of less interest
to the film makers here than telling a great story. While what we end
up with is a really moving story it is somewhat of a disappointing
white wash that makes Disney look much better than reality. There is
a great cast which has impressive strength in depth and Emma Thompson
really carries the film with an excellent performance.
4/5
