Wonderful

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2005)

The story of JM Barrie and his writing of Peter Pan unfolds as magically as Peter Pan itself into a wonderful film full of beauty and fantasy. Johnny Depp once again proves what a marvelous actor he is (playing JM Barrie) and the supporting cast are equally as convincing. Both Kate Winslet and Radha Mitchell give very moving but very different performances in there respective roles as the Mother of the Davies Children (who were the inspiration for Peter Pan) and JM Barries Wife. The way the film constantly and effortlessly marries the fantasy of JM Barries mind and the reality of the world he inhabits is wonderful to watch and gives just the right sense of childish fantasy for this story. If you want to see a moving, inspirational film, wonderfully presented this movie is for you. 9 out of 10 for me.
