"A witty and touching father-son tale. And at its
centre: a startling debut from Will Tilston, whose compelling performance
ensures its emotional moments land successfully." –Empire
"Touches something bigger than its own ambitions. It touches, in a way movies rarely do, on some essential current of life." —San Fransisco Chronicle
A rare glimpse into the relationship between beloved children's author A. A. Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) and his son Christopher Robin (a breakout performance by Will Tilston). After leaving London for the English countryside, writer A.A. Milne begins to spin fanciful yarns about his son's growing collection of stuffed animals. These stories form the basis for "Winnie-the-Pooh" and "The House at Pooh Corner," published respectively in 1926 and 1928. Along with his mother Daphne (Margot Robbie), and his nanny Olive, Christopher Robin and his family are swept up in the international success of the books; the enchanting tales bringing hope and comfort to England after the First World War. But with the eyes of the world on Christopher Robin, what will the cost be to the family?
