	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"The film is a disappointment but not a disaster (...) Christopher isn’t very interesting"	NEG
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] creates antipathy (...) McGregor's Christopher is by turns stressed, dour and frantic, not the most appealing of combinations"	NEG
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"Once 'Christopher Robin' softens its insufferable, needlessly cynical conception of the title character, it offers more or less what a Pooh reboot should: a lot of nostalgia, a bit of humor..."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[It] should entertain kids (...) The movie mostly works"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Winnie the Pooh is better than ever, but Ewan McGregor only gets in his way (...) Graced with a certain guileless, but also mired in a thick fog of middle-class tedium"	NEU
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"'Christopher Robin' is a soulless, automated variation on Steven Spielberg’s 'Hook' (...) It offers little specific insight"	NEG
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"While the story is pretty predictable fluff (...) 'Christopher Robin' contains a thread of madcap subversiveness (...) Endearing and thoughtful (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"'Christopher Robin' looks lovely, but falls flat (...) [Forster] never quite finds the alchemy in Milne’s timeless tales"	NEU
United States	William Bibbiani IGN	"A formulaic and depressing motion picture that takes meaningful characters and strips them of their reason to exist."	NEG
United States	E. Oliver Whitney Screen Crush	"Pooh’s sense of wonder and innocent jubilance isn’t lost (...) A predictable story with so little to say."	NEU
Canada	Sandy Schaefer Screen Rant	"[It] is a re-imagining full of heart and soul that, like the best Disney features, has something of value to offer audiences of all ages (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
