Finding Neverland (PG) 101 mins"Unlock your imagination"
Monsters Ball director Marc Forster adapts Allan Knee's play The Man Who Was Peter Pan, using the extensive talents of Johnny Depp to play the author J. M. Barrie. The film follows Barrie from his initial theatrical disasters through his relationship with the widow Sylvia Davies, and her family of four children with whom he discovers a remarkable affinity. Features an excellent supporting cast, including Kate Winslet as Sylvia and Julie Christie as Emma du Maurier.
Finding Neverland won an Oscar for Best Original Score.
"The chief strength resides in an outstanding performance by Johnny Depp as Barrie, who captures the writer's sense of fun, his sadness, intelligence, compassion and empathy, as well as bringing off a perfect Scottish accent" Philip French, The Observer
