This is truly a classic

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2006)

A 10/10 certainly does not do this film justice. This is one of those films where I knew it would be one of my favorites just halfway through the movie. I am so glad I watched this movie, it is so captivating and sweet that I reprimand myself for not having watched it when it first came out.
I think that Mr. Depp does an incredible job at portraying JM Barrie. The subtleties that he carries out in order to depict Barrie is just amazing. I thought that his accent was right on cue as well. The boys were all marvelous. Kate Winslet, great performance, but one role that I thought was vital for this play was definitely the grandmother, as she did a very good job portraying that "villain" that tries to ruin the moment.
My favorite scene in this movie comes when Michael Davies is in the dungeon talking to Barrie for the first time. That was truly a very innocent scene. I also thought that Marc Forster, one of my favorite directors, did an impressive job in bringing out Barrie's imagination, especially that pirate ship scene, that was priceless.
This is an absolute masterpiece that you should go and see. Do not be discouraged by that PG rating, as I was. You will not regret watching this movie.
