Like Big Fish and The Neverending Story, this is a film that reminds us that life, coloured by our perceptions, is what we make it; all we have to do is believe.

If it didn't have Johnny Depp as its star, Finding Neverland would barely pass muster as an average PBS Masterpiece Theatre entry.

Depp is a charm. He becomes his own, subtly compelling Barrie.

Not about Peter Pan, and not a kids' movie.

Infused by an awkward decorum; the kind that descends on a gathering dominated by an unmentioned death or transgression.

It's harmless cotton candy with pleasant turn-of-the-century décor, but I admit the Disney ambiance eventually wore me out and I spent a lot of time looking at my watch.

A heartfelt, beautiful film, and one of the best dramas I've seen in years.

Watchable and passably engaging.

Finding Neverland is about the importance of hanging on to belief in something that transcends the empirical world. It's a gentle, graceful, and unsentimental film.

Finding Neverland is not exactly the way it happened, but this is a movie with a higher truth, one we need to believe in. And you will believe. You will.
