Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) 04/02/2024
The problem-solving is so brilliant, the songs are so great and Julie Andrews is so utterly, utterly perfect. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 03/28/2024
5/5
I have to admit that I find the real brilliance of the film is in the first act and things have wound down by the end, but what an entertainment sugar rush. Go to Full Review Joe Clay The Times (UK) 01/22/2024
Shot entirely indoors in a Hollywood fantasy version of late Victorian London, Disney’s evergreen family classic is arguably Walt Disney’s finest moment Go to Full Review Zita Short InSession Film 02/02/2023
It mixes over the top, fantastical humor with genuine observations about the importance of really listening to your children. Go to Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene 09/10/2021
Mary Poppins is of a piece with the classic art-film archetype in which a mysterious stranger helps each member of a family through unlocking their emotional blockage, for better or worse... Go to Full Review Ken Winters Winnipeg Free Press 08/18/2021

a b @TheVoiceOfReason Dec 23 One spoon of sugar will help the medicine go down! Great movie, a timeless classic, watch it! See more Amy G @Amytheshort Dec 17 Inside the sound of music , this is got to be what julie andrews finest pieces of work See more Marta B Dec 15 The plot can drag on a little bit at times, but it is a very good family film. All age groups can relate to different characters and there are several details that are fun to look out for. See more matthias s @Thescreenasvor Dec 14 Mary Poppins has been on my watchlist forever, literally, and with Dick Van Dyke’s 100th birthday it finally felt like the right time. The special effects are obviously dated, but honestly they’re still kind of mind-blowing. The animation blended with live action is way ahead of its time and still charming to look at. The whole movie is soaked in classic old-school Disney magic, catchy songs, bright colors, pure vibes. That said, I didn’t love it as much as I expected. The characters feel a bit flat, like… who are these people really? I never fully connected with them. Still, I totally get why this movie is beloved. It’s cozy, imaginative, and historically impressive. Not perfect for me, but undeniably charming and important overall classic.
