Featured Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

"Finding Neverland" is the story of a man who doesn't want to grow up, and writes the story of a boy who never does. The boy is Peter Pan, and the man is Sir J.M. ...read the complete Finding Neverland movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Don't be fooled by the pirate drag Johnny Depp wears in the transporting Finding Neverland. There is no sign of campy Captain Jack in this low-key and lyrical take on Scottish author J.M. Barrie, the odd duck who created Peter Pan. ...read the complete Finding Neverland movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Finding Neverland is, let's see�the fictional autobiographical account of how author J.M. Barrie came to create Peter Pan, one of the acknowledged classics of children's literature. ...read the complete Finding Neverland movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

If it's Disney (or its subsidiary, Miramax), it must be "inspired by true events." Or maybe it just seems that way. Those words, which appear in a caption at the beginning, are chose with care (more care than the similar preface to Hidalgo). ...read the complete Finding Neverland movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Finding Neverland is best described as a "safe" movie. It does what it sets out to do, but never attempts anything risky. It is by turns tender, humorous, and touching, but it never attempts anything that would elevate it to the next level. ...read the complete Finding Neverland movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)

A heavily sentimental drama, which generally means that it will deeply affect some while missing other viewers altogether, Finding Neverland seeks to tell the tale of what inspired playwright J.M. Barrie to pen "Peter Pan". Many parallels exist ...read the complete Finding Neverland (2004) review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)

San Diego Union-Tribune (David Elliott)

Marc Forster is lost in Edwardian Neverland. The plot is not only cloddishly obvious but thinner than a stage scrim, and Barrie's 'genius' is scarcely explored....read the complete Finding Neverland (2004) review at San Diego Union-Tribune (David Elliott)
