Saving Mr. Banks Ratings & Reviews
- Mister ArnMay 14, 2025Found the flashbacks a little confusing in the beginning, but once I understood what was happening it unfolded into a terrific story. The acting had me fully invested with characters, even found myself singing along with the movie.
- JeremiahMarch 5, 2026It’s strange that my few reads of the top reviews (on Letterboxd) is “its wonderful” vs “evil men beat down and seduce a women for their corporate greed”. I see both sides to be honest and kinda feel bad for the latter. Not because they are really wrong but cause they can only see the bad. And that can be a heavy weight to feel such things for something that seemingly presents itself without malice. And if the recording played during the credits is real then it feels about as real as it gets. Idk. Im sure its played up for the emotion and theatrics. It does at times feel rather emotionally manipulative. I liked the movie but hold it at arms length too, because of the cold parts of my heart.
