Awesome film - not to be missed!

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2004)

I went to see Finding Neverland last week on the opening day for my 14th birthday. Me and my mom are huge JD fans and we were definitely not disappointed. We also dragged my dad along who is extremely critical, and he said that it was a fantastic film. The acting was brilliant from start to finish. I found myself just accepting that Depp WAS Barrie instead of questioning his portrayal or accent. Kate Winslet was good, but not great. The child actors were convincing and carried the roles well. Freddie Highmore was even cast in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, due to Johnny Depp's persuasion. I took tissues into the cinema with me and I definitely needed them. I was choking back tears halfway through the film and they were pouring out by the end. This film lives up to everything said about it and much much more. A must see film!
