Roald & Beatrix: The Tail of the Curious Mouse (2020)
Nice movie for kids, not so much for the adult audience

Roald Dahl actually didn't mean anything to me until this film, but his works like "Mathilda", "The BFG" or "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" did, after all they are among the most famous film adaptations of his works.
The film itself shows him in his childhood and how he felt the fascination of his favorite works of Beatrix Potter. For the fact that it was mainly supposed to portray him, we learned quite little about him. Only that he had four siblings, one of whom died of a ruptured appendix and shortly thereafter his father also passed away. I would have liked a deeper insight into Roald Dahl, but the film is a children's film and is primarily aimed at this audience. Adults can still watch documentaries or read his autobiographies.
