Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2005)

This film and it's childlike elements touched me deeply. As a lover of Peter Pan and Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, I was blown away by this film. The performances of the young boys, particularly Peter and John were very well acted for such young children. Kate and Johnny's interaction on screen is spectacular. The so-called "polite affections" as they were called in The New York Times, were what made the movie for me. The music conveyed a sense of childhood, yet an acceptance of responsibility and adulthood on the part of all the boys. This film, though almost certain to move you to tears will leave you feeling more complete as a person. As the other reviewer said- this film is most certainly not just for children.
