Came out in the wrong year

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2007)

In retrospect, it's a shame this movie came out in 2004 - the competition has been so much weaker the past two years. Finding Neverland is better than any movie I've seen the past two years. (In fact, I'd rate every Best Picture nominee from 2004 above any movie from the past two years). That said, anyone with a bit of a romantic touch should love this movie. It takes you back to a time when life seemed so much more innocent - when the next big thing was the play Peter Pan opening in London. The cast is superb - the acting and direction flawless. In tone, Finding Neverland reminds me of 'Babe' and 'Charoits of Fire'. If you love those movies, I think you will love Finding Neverland
