Mary Poppins Returns (2018)

Directed by Rob Marshall this sequel stars Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranada, Ben Wishaw and Emily Mortimer. Twenty-five years after the events of the first film Mary Poppins returns to help the second generation of Banks children save the family home.

I must have seen the original film at some point but it has long slipped from memory, still this sequel was easy enough to follow despite coming over 50 years later. The plot does not have a lot to it when you actually look at it and comes from a questionable era when the working class just exist to support the fantasy of the upper middle class. I do like the way the film fits in with the visual style of it's predecessor but beyond the visuals there is not a huge amount to this film.

3/5
