I wonder how many people who saw the movie have actually read or re-read Peter Pan while they were adults and how many of them have known anything about the real life of J. M. Barrie before the movie. I'm not an expert on Barrie, but I do know a bit about him and had to re-read Peter Pan for my Children's Lit class, so I can tell you the film version of Barrie and Peter Pan is mostly imaginary.

For many years, I have been a huge fan of Johnny Depp but, unfortunately, he has now become one of the most overrated actors at work nowadays. Basically, he keeps showing up in some huge blockbusters which are all rather underwhelming and I terribly miss the time when he was making some smaller features and was considered a box-office poison. Anyway, back in 2004, the situation was not yet so dram... read more

Description: This enchanting movie will transport you to a realm where playfulness is revered as a counterpoint to all the tragedy, pain, suffering, and disaster in the world. For Barrie, the key to enduring setbacks is to transform them by the magical powers of the imagination. He aims to show Sylvia's boys, and the theatre going public as well, that grief and loss, while real, do not have the last word. For all of us, there is a Neverland where things have their own special meaning and charm, a place always accessible to those who believe. This, of course, is a profoundly spiritual message.

Magical and very affecting

“Of course it takes liberties with the truth, not the first biographical drama to do that, but I cannot deny that Finding Neverland was very magical and affecting and was beautifully crafted not only in visuals but in acting too. Plus it made me believe in Peter Pan again, and that is a wonderful feeling as Peter Pan is one of my all-time favourite stories. The cinematography, costumes, locations and scenery are absolutely stunning, and the score gives the film its magical feeling. The script had its deft touches, the story had a perfect balance of the humorous and the tragic, and director Marc Forster deserves credit for making even those mundane events into something somewhat enchanting. The acting is wonderful too- Johnny Depp is nothing short of magnificent as JM Barrie as he alternates” read more
