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

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

matthias s @Thescreenasvor 2h 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.

See more Sarah S. @Braxton188 Dec 2 “Drags a little, step in time!” (Repeat for 8 minutes) See more J C Nov 28 One of the best family films ever made. This is a rare movie that truly delivers for audiences of all ages—especially families. The musical numbers are unforgettable, the story is heartfelt, and the message is timeless. Mary & Dick bring pure magic to the screen. Their chemistry, talent, and charm elevate every scene they share. I first saw this film as a child—thanks to my father, who took me to see it numerous times. Decades later, it still hits the same emotional beats: some songs make my heart ache, others lift me up so completely it’s impossible not to smile. Nostalgia aside, this movie simply works. It reminds us that musicals can uplift, teach, and connect generations without needing flashy reinvention. It doesn’t matter whether today’s kids come from the world of superhero franchises, anime quests, or high-energy pop epics—this is the foundation those worlds are built on: heart, spectacle, and sincerity. A must-watch, a comfort-rewatch, and a genuine classic. Five stars is the only rating that makes sense. See more Juju S Nov 23 C'est à chaque fois un doux retour en enfance. Julie Andrews a cette magie en elle qui rend le personnage de Mary Poppins unique. Pour l’oeil de l’enfant, Mary Poppins est une nanny avec des pouvoirs magiques, mais en réalité, elle est celle qui permet à la famille de se reconnecter et de retrouver une harmonie. C’est une nanny qui est en réalité destinée au personnage complexe de Mr.Banks plus qu’aux enfants. Bert est une sorte de bras droit qui sait quel mot dire à quel moment. Ce film est encore plus brillant que je ne le pensais à l’époque. Les effets spéciaux ont cependant mal vieilli, mais la magie est toujours là. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 22 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Read all reviews
