Finding Neverland
2004
****
Director: Marc Forster
Cast: Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, Radha Mitchell, Dustin Hoffman

A lovely fictionalised drama about J.M. Barrie's close friendship with a widow and her four boys, which inspires him to write Peter Pan. This thoroughly moving tale makes you want to believe in magic. Johnny Depp is excellent as a man who refuses to grow up. Based on Allan Knee's play The Man Who Was Peter Pan. Jan A. P. Kaczmarek's score won an Academy Award.
