    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In real life, Michael Llewelyn Davies was J.M. Barrie's inspiration for Peter Pan. Michael, not Peter, was said to be Barrie's favorite of the children. It's not certain why Barrie chose to name the main character Peter. One idea is because of his brothers, Peter behaved the most like an adult at a young age. Barrie wished he'd had more of a childhood, so he immortalized him as the symbol of youth.
    • Goofs
      When Peter is knocking over his set for his play, a man in a t-shirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap is reflected in the window.
    • Quotes

      J.M. Barrie: Young boys should never be sent to bed... they always wake up a day older.

    9/10
    Superb Acting and Brilliantly Made
    Finding Neverland is one of the best films I have seen all year. Depp and Winslet are superb and their supporting cast is very strong in particular Julie Christie, Dustin Hoffman and Freddie Highmore. Forster's direction is tight and he maintains a story which had the potential to drag. Depp delivers a performance that is truly believable and he interacts with his co-stars well, in particular, Freddie Highmore who delivers a performance that outshines Depp's. It is a tour de force of acting talent. Clearly Highmore has a great career ahead of him. 9/10 for a superb piece of film-making, made diligently but, unfortunately, up against such strong contention, it had to make do with a disappointing award haul.
