Reviews
|
The Telegraph -
It’s Thompson as the heroically unbiddable Travers who makes the most of it; her bravura performance effectively dominates the film.
|
|
Variety -
It’s a bit square, never particularly surprising, yet very rich in its sense of creative people and their spirit of self-reinvention.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Taken strictly on its own terms, Saving Mr. Banks works exceedingly well as mainstream entertainment.
|
|
Empire -
This is not a simple story of an uptight English woman induced to loosen up by those freedom-lovin’ Yanks, but a delicate and brilliantly acted story of overcoming the past to embrace an uncertain future. Emma Thompson, in particular, is magic.

|
Time Out London -
The whole thing goes down with a few bucketloads of sugar. What keeps it from becoming sticky schmaltz is Thompson, who plays Travers with wit and warmth, adding a spoonful of spoilt child to help the battleaxe go down.
