According to out daughter Deanna, movies generally do not release in London unless they are English productions, and this one was so did open there before in North America. So Deanna recommended it and we're so glad she did. This was a great movie. Although a little slow at first it drew us in and we were part of the drama that unfolded. Against the backdrop of a marital breakdown, the positive aspects of this story are moving. Roger Ebert says this: "Finding Neverland is, finally, surprisingly moving." Based on "actual events" I have no idea how accurate to reality it is, but the story is good none the less. We would make this a definite recommended see, either on the big screen or as a rental.

Barrie's creative journey to bring Peter Pan to life, from his first inspiration for the story up until the play's premiere at the Duke of York's Theatre - a night that will change not only Barrie's own life, but the lives of everyone close to him. David Magee's screenplay is based on the play "The Man Who Was Peter Pan," written by Allen Knee.
