A beautiful story that is both fun and adventurous but also serious and sad. It promises to make you laugh, smile, and cry, and for that reason it is a great film. Both Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet are brilliant in their roles and each give a stunning performances in their own way. How can you not enjoy a film based around the real-life creations of Peter Pan?

I love Finding Neverland. I love the actors. I love the acting, most notably Freddie Highmore. I love the score. I love how whimsical and silly it is.

It's a movie that just works from beginning to end for me, even if it is blatantly obvious how things are going to turn out. It doesn't make it any less moving.

I'd say this one's a guilty pleasure of mine, but I like it so much, I don't give a shit what you think of me.

You find a glimmer of happiness in this world, there's always someone who wants to destroy it.

For the most part, this is a pretty mediocre drama about the life behind Sir James Matthew Barrie, and his inspiration that led him to create Peter Pan.

Some brilliant performances can't hide the fact that it's nothing special - and although it doesn't outstay its welcome, it still gets pretty dull.

The last twenty minutes though - although somewhat predictable - are so moving and thoughtful that it almost makes you forget that just half an hour ago you were bored stiff. Almost.

A pretty average watch, but worth it if you're a fan of Johnny Depp and his dodgy Scottish accent.

One of my faovrite roles for Johnny Depp, he does just a fantastic job of portraying JM Barrie. Freddie Highmore does a great job as well. It's a touching film and even though it has it's serious moments it's fun and enjoyable.

It was simply beautiful, magical and charming. I love stories that blend reality and imagination, and I believe that this is the best of them all.

The actors had a fantastic chemistry; the casting was superb, especially Kate Winslet. Her biggest scene left me crying my eyes out. Brilliant.

Absolutely LOVED this film. I may have been a little bit biased because I already love the tale of Peter Pan, but to see how the story itself originated and unfolded is beautiful and deep. Prepare to be moved.

Don't wanna write a review, but I just wanted to say that this is leaning more towards four stars, but I didn't feel that it was great, but better than very good. So let's say I gave it ★★★3/4.

A mí que no me jodan, el Barrie en realidad se follaba a la madre de los críos fijo.

A sweet little film that's just a bit too cute. Still a nice story to tell with good production value.

My taste in movies only so rarely succumbs to saccharine sweet fare like 'Finding Neverland' but dammit if this film doesn't melt my heart every single time I watch it.
On its initial release I remember being absolutely blown away by the young Freddie Highmore's performance and it holds up remarkably well today despite growing up to become and equally impressive Norman Bates on television.
The rest of the cast is also superb as we learn the origins of Peter Pan, how to deal with loss, and staying young no matter how old you are. A true gem of a movie.

6.0/10

Finding Neverland has a great cast, remarkable production values, a fine cinematography and a great score, but since I wasn't engaged neither by the plot nor the characters, it left me a feeling of indifference towards it and in the end, it was considerably boring for me. I should watch it again though, because it's been quite a long time since I watched it and I may change my mind.
