Saving Mr Banks

Not saving Carlton Banks from eviction or Saving Private Ryan this time but saving a reputation/memory, through imagination and storytelling. Colin Farrell was a bit feckless, bad tempered; a fine line between magic and car crash but the daughter had love and trust for him..a cut-away of them on the horse. First you think it's like Hitchcock; a film about making a film but it's the angle of love that saves Banks. Like in Shine the father is demonised but this time is redeemed.
The daughter grows up to be cantankerous because of what she's seen; a distant look, hurt eyes. Kids shouldn't see their parents with fallibilities; she lovingly gives him the booze. There are themes of innocence, money. Any shadiness of Walt is not alluded to. The animated penguins which caused initial consternation worked well. The relationship with the driver is good as he opens up through his own family issues.
Definitely worth a watch.
