Wonderful acting

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 2004)

Once again Johnny Depp has proved that he is one of the most naturalistic, deeply moving, and versatile actors of today. His portrayal of Matthew Barrie was truly extraordinary - so genuine and real. Depp made Barrie into someone you could fall in love with, someone that you could absolutely admire because he brought so much good into the lives of the Llewelyn Davies family. He definitely made me believe once again. Let me also mention the other obvious stand out in the film: Freddie Highmore who played Peter Llewelyn Davies. What a remarkable young actor. I expect great things from this young man. I love when I witness amazing talent from such a young actor. He blew me away with his simple yet moving portrayal. He brought me to tears on several occasions throughout the film. Once again, bravo to the rest of the cast (Dustin Hoffman made me chuckle) and to Marc Forster for a fabulous job on the direction of the film.
