Beautiful, well acted

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2004)

Johnny Depp produces an Oscar winning performance. His character as J.M. Barrie is entirely believable. He handles his performance with sincerity and sensitivity and light humor. The character development is wonderful leading the viewer to become totally engrossed. The emotions portrayed ran the gamut from very happy and joyful to extremely sad and disturbed. At the end of the movie, other patrons at the theater sat for a full five minutes before they moved. It obviously affected others greatly as well. The children, Kate Winslet and Julie Christie were well cast. An outstanding film. The message of 'Finding Neverland' will last for a long time. 'Do You Believe in Fairies?'
