A Magical Experience

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 2004)

I saw the movie at the Chicago International Film Festival. It was so wonderful, I am still glowing from the experience. The movie was absolutely beautiful -- moving, touching, magical. Johnny Depp, as I expected, was outstanding, as were Kate Winslet, Julie Christie, and the little boy who played Peter. Seeing the movie made me want to learn all about James Barrie -- it was great.
I really can't say enough about Johnny Depp's performance. I was entranced by his beauty and awed by his talent. He is a joy to see.
Like many movies based on real people, this one is not meant to serve as a documentary. If you want to learn about Barrie, read a book. If you want to be enthralled, see this movie.
