Finding Neverland
Director: Marc Forster
Actors: Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, Julie Christie
PlotPlaywright J.M. Barrie struggles with the failure of his latest play when he meets the Llewelyn Davies family in a London park. The family consists of a young widow, Sylvia, and her four boys. Barrie quickly develops a close bond with them, particularly the imaginative Peter. Inspired by their innocence and the escapades they share, Barrie begins to write a play centered on the idea of never growing up, drawing on his interactions with the boys as he crafts the whimsical world.
As Barrie becomes more involved with Sylvia and her boys, concerns arise among his own social circle, including his wife Mary and Sylvia's stern mother, Mrs. du Maurier. Despite these mounting pressures, Barrie remains undeterred, driven by his vision of a fantastical place where children can remain children forever. His journey to bring this vision to life not only reignites his creative spirit but also profoundly impacts those around him, setting the stage for a transformative unveiling.

'Finding Neverland' captures childlike wonder and deep emotion, but the Blu-ray transfer is mediocre with inconsistent audio; best appreciated as a rental.
