Finding Neverland is one of those rare movies that is unforgettable. Not because it tries to be, but because it gets you right in the stomach and refuses to let go. I saw this movie first at the cinema and I cried for the last half-hour.To those of you who think it just looks like a cheesy story, think again. Yes, it's message is powerful (believe in yourself and in love, and most of all have fun. But there is also more to be enjoyed here.
On recent re-watching on DVD the experience was richer still... I was able to appreciate the wonderful script, fine comic timing and outstanding acting of all involved. The fantasy scenes are innovative and beautiful, and London looks glorious. Many of the scenes are playful in a way I haven't seen in a long time.
By the way Freddie Highmore also gets the accolade of being the only child actor I don't find excruciatingly annoying!! I can see a bright future ahead of him.
