Absolutely Beautiful!

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2004)

Though I went to the movie with some reservations, I was totally enthralled by the performance of Johnny Depp in the role of James Barrie. The simplicity of his motivation combined with the deeply complex portrayal were riveting. The movie covers Barrie's disintegrating relationship with his wife, the innuendo as to the nature of his relationship with a widow and her children and the possibilities in everyday life. I couldn't talk my eyes of the film and was alternately laughing and in tears with the poignancy of the relationships portrayed. Definitely a must see and I certainly will be going to see it again. It was probably a bonus( at least for me)to see the film without children in the audience as I went to a showing while our local Santa Claus Parade was taking place. Great to be in an audience of applauding and weeping adults!
