Something of a breakthrough for British TV writers Kelly Marcel (a virtual beginner) and Sue Smith, with some influence from the actual taped sessions of Mary Poppins author PL Travers. Emma Thompson is enjoying being rude, Tom Hanks an intelligent casting choice from the head of Walt Disney, Paul Giamatti especially enjoyable, but Jason Schwartzman also good against his usual lugubrious type; with Colin Farrell (again playing an alky), Ruth Wilson (so memorable in Luther), Bradley Whitford (recognisable to us from Studio 60), BJ Novak, Rachel Griffiths (aunt) and Annie Rose Buckley (the kid).
Shot by Seabiscuit's John Schwartzman, edited by Mark Livolsi (Almost Famous, Elizabethtown), music by Thomas Newman (his 12th Oscar nomination).
