Successful Scottish playwright Barrie (Johnny Depp) is considered a literary genius of his time, but he is bored by the polite society of Edwardian England. Everything changes when he encounters the Llewelyn Davies family - four fatherless boys and their beautiful, recently widowed mother Sylvia (Kate Winslet). Despite the disapproval of the boys' steely grandmother (Julie Christie) and the resentment of his own wife (Radha Mitchell), Barrie befriends the family and engages the boys in mischief and creating enchanting make-believe worlds. The friendship inspires Barrie to introduce his most daring and renowned masterwork to the public. However tragedy intervenes, helping the writer and those he loves to understand what it really means to believe. Synopsis Award-winning stars Johnny Depp (Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl), Kate Winslet (Titanic) and Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man) bring to life the story of a man who awakened the world's imagination, and the people who inspired him!

I have to agree with the majority of the reviewers here. This is a wonderful, intelligent film that relies, for once, on the strength of acting abilities and not special effects. Johnny Depp is one of the finest actors of his generation and one of very few American actors who can pull off a believable British accent. Although the storyline is not strictly how it all happened, it does not detract in the slightest from what is a delightful and thought-provoking film.

a simply beautiful movie that takes a different angle at the classic peter pan story line. finding never land focuses on the author of the immortal story of the boy who never grew up, j m barrie, who is played by the always fantastic johnny depp and also the magical kate winslet who should win an oscar for once

This is just such a magical film that teaches both children and adults like that growing up is optional. You can still claim the magic that is yours as a young child. Johnny Depp is expertly cast, as is Kate Winslet in one of the best roles I've ever seen her in. The children are delightful, funny, and extraordinarly talented young actors. I had tears streaming down my cheeks by the time it finished, and yes, I agree that if you do not have at least one tear in your eye, then there's something wrong with you. A perfectly lovely movie.

has many links to Peter Pan - but takes it to a more adult level. SO just like Peter Pan - it stops you growing up to much - reminds you to stop and enjoy the magic of life. It describes the concept of the crocodile in new light "indeed - time is chasing after all of us Mr Barry" really makes you think, laugh cry and play!

fantastic film! absolutely beautiful...(the film and Johnny Depp!) This is a film that will really play on your imagination - bring out the child in you and make you believe that anything is possible and magic happens. Everything is dealt with in such a lovely way from childhood games to the death of a mother - there's an element of fantasy to it all!

average movie, was a bit lost on me as i personally found it to be a little bit boring, but the acting was good from johnny depp as per usual. man if you do not have tears in your eyes by the end of this then there is something wrong with you, gosh it is sad. this is a pretty magical tale, you jsut need to have a bit of patience through the boring bits.

This is a lovely movie with a really good cast. Being a fan of both Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet I was not disappointed in it. It's not the sort of movie i could watch over and over though, and I can't believe that Freddie Highmore who plays peter was actually 12 years old at the time! he looks like he's 5!

Finding Neverland is one of my all-time favorite films. It is magical, funny, soulful, and an absolute pleasure to watch! Throughout the film, a wonderful message is driven--it claims that even though we get older, we don't have to grow up. Its possible to pretend and stay young forever. It explains how time (crocodile with the ticking clock in its belly) is chasing everyone, and advocates people to really life, whatever that means for them. The film encourages one to believe--in themselves, in others, in magic, and possibility.

This movie is fantastic, the beginning makes you laugh, the middle warms your heart and the ending makes you cry. This is a beautiful story that has been made in to a film with flawless ability. The performance from allthe actors are spectacular and it is a heartbreaking film. This one of Depp's finest films and Winslett is nothing short of fantastic as Sylvia. The boys are well cast and play there roles with sophistication and talent. A beautiful film that must be seen by everyone!

this is a beautiful movie. it will make you laugh and it will make you cry, jhonny depp is amasing in this movie and this has to be one of the best performances i have seen from kate winslett. i highly recomend seeing this movie
