The movie details the experiences of "Peter Pan"
author J.M. Barrie, which lead him to write the children's classic. He got
to know four children who have no father. Drawing from his time with the kids,
he writes a story about children who don't want to grow up.The film was directed
by Marc Forster. he screenplay by David Magee is based on
the play The Man Who Was Peter Pan by Allan Knee. The film was
nominated for several Oscars, including Best Picture, Best
Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor for Depp's portrayal of J. M.
Barrie, and won one for Jan A. P. Kaczmarek's musical score.
Finding Neverland is one of the best films I have seen all
year. Depp and Winslet are superb and their supporting cast is very strong in
particular Julie Christie, Dustin Hoffman and Freddie Highmore. Forster's
direction is tight and he maintains a story which had the potential to drag.
Depp delivers a performance that is truly believable and he interacts with his
co-stars well, in particular, Freddie Highmore who delivers a performance that
outshines Depp's. It is a tour de force of acting talent. Clearly Highmore has
a great career ahead of him. 9/10 for a superb piece of film-making, made
diligently but, unfortunately, up against such strong contention, it had to
make do with a disappointing award haul.
