One of the better movies from 2004

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 2004)

This movie I have anticipated seeing ever since I was made aware it was being made about a year ago. Johnny Depp once again does not disappoint in this fantasy/drama that depicts how J.M Barrie came up with one of the most beloved plays of the 20th century. The story is so warm with Barrie making friends with a widow and her children but it is also contrasted with darkness as Barrie's marriage to his wife is falling apart. It becomes almost instantly clear that the marriage is in trouble when we see that they slee in separate bedrooms. 2004 has been so far a weak year for movies but it's ones like these that tend to brighten up the silver screen in time for Christmas. 4 out of 5 stars.
