Goodbye Christopher Robin

Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017) is Simon Curtis's biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM. It's the story of where Winnie the Pooh came from, and what the bear cost the family that created him.

Home from the trenches of the First World War, playwright A. A. Milne can no longer write the breezy comedies that made his name. His escape comes through his son, a boy nicknamed Christopher Robin, and a stuffed bear. The games they invent in the woods become books that turn the child into the most famous boy alive almost overnight. But the fame written for a fairy tale lands on the real Christopher, and his childhood disappears into interviews and photo shoots. Domhnall Gleeson plays Milne, Margot Robbie his wife Daphne, Kelly Macdonald the nanny Olive, and young Will Tilston is Christopher.

The film shows the flip side of a beloved children's story: a father who gave the world comfort and handed his own son a grown-up burden. A warm, melancholy family drama set among the woods of Sussex. Stream Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017) online on iFILM.
