Winnie The Pooh & Love That Makes History for Fresh Film Friday 

Goodbye Christopher Robin opens today, October 27 telling a behind-the-scenes story of the life of author A.A. Milne and the creation of the Winnie the Pooh stories inspired by his son C.R. Milne. For those who remember Saving Mr. Banks, we get the feeling that this film will be right up your alley. Watch the trailer.

“Director Simon Curtis’s movie could easily have tripped (like Piglet) and burst its balloon as it evokes a dappled glade of happiness surrounded by the monstrous spectres of two world wars. Instead, it skips nimbly between light and dark, war and peace, like a young boy finding his way through an English wood, albeit one drenched with shafts of sugary, Spielbergian light.” - Mark Kermode, The Guardian

"The directorial debut of actor Andy Serkis is an unabashed tearjerker, wringing every last drop of emotion from an inspirational true story." - Allan Hunter, Daily Express (UK)

“Garbage Warrior was filmed over three years in the U.S., India and Mexico, and it's a terrific introduction not only to Reynolds' work, but to the extraordinary political and economic hurdles facing anyone who hopes to make positive change.” - Liz Braun, Jam! Movies
