The Neverland Lost & Found

Well, I didn’t get the IT job. At least I found out quickly.
On to more pressing issues:

Finding Neverland is a moving tale of love, loss and imagination. The acting is nothing short of phenomenal, notably Johnny Depp as J.M. Barry, Kate Winslett and Freddie Highmore, who plays the young Peter Davies.

I would write an entire review here, but I’m feeling a bit lazy today. If you haven’t seen it, go watch it, and bring some tissues. It’s the first movie I’ve cried at in some time.

Of small note, Kelly MacDonald plays the onstage Peter Pan in the movie. You may recognize her as Diane from Trainspotting. What has she done between then and now? Nothing much, unfortunately, because I think she fills the screen wonderfully. Hopefully we’ll see more out of her in the future.

One reply on “The Neverland Lost & Found”

I saw Finding Neverland the other day, and I cried like a little baby at the end. You’re right, the kid who plays young Peter Davies is absolutely amazing. And the cinematography really captures the feeling of magic very well.
