Finding the meaning of life.

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2005)

Finding Neverland, finding the interior of a genius' head, his endless imagination, in the certain knowledge that keeping ourselves away from the adult world is what give us life and joy; finding a bear under the skin of a good-natured dog, finding the far-west in the garden of any given house of Victorian London; finding how an universal piece of art is developed.
Finding that Johnny Depp knows how to be a great big actor, that he knows how to be sober and how he controls a different accent. Finding a little big man called Freddie Highmore, one of those children with an ancient look and an innate talent for performing (just like his female counterpart, Dakota Flanning). Finding a soundtrack and an editing that will drive you to the verge of crying.
Finding what we already knew: Kate Winslet is one of the best, and Julie Christie or Dustin Hoffman have grew old in the wisest possible way. Finding that every day that goes by there are less Peter Pans left and that Captain Hook and his crew have won the battle. So if you want to be moved, if you want to laugh, if you want fantasy, if you want to feel like a child again and forget about the f***ing real world, just go and find Neverland. When the lump in your throat disappear just let your friends and family know about this film, they'll thank you for ever and ever.
*My Rate: 9/10
