Finding Neverland Reviews |
Only once does ''Finding Neverland'' grasp both the writer and his play's dark undertow, when the wonderful Scottish actress Kelly MacDonald, in the role of Peter, realizes that Tinker Bell may die. Rousing all the heartbreak and deep feeling in Barrie'sworld, she entreats us to believe and, for one glorious moment, you do. [read review]
--Manohla Dargis (The New York Times)
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 review] 
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
"Finding Neverland" couldn't be more different than director Marc Forster's breakthrough film, the much darker Monster's Ball, but the two films share a special attention to actors and a natural understanding of the possibilities of cinema. [read review]
--Kevin N. Laforest (Montreal Film Journal)
There’s no sense on families wasting that budget on Scooby-Doo Deux. Bring them to see Finding Neverland instead, because if you can’t get inspired by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, you certainly have no imagination. [read review] 
--Erik Childress (eFilmCritic.com)
Portraying "Peter Pan" creator J.M. Barrie in Marc Foster's movingly lyrical "Finding Neverland," Johnny Depp adds yet another indelible, Oscar-worthy portrait to his gallery of memorable characters. [read review] 
--Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
Finding Neverland isn't for everyone, but is recommended for all fans of Barrie's "Peter Pan", inspirational dramas, Johnny Depp, and movies driven by imagination and a touch of sentimentality. [read review] 
--Vince Leo (Qwipster.net)
Imaginatively directed, beautifully written and superbly acted, this is an inventive, moving, utterly captivating film that stands a good chance of being one of this year’s Oscar contenders. [read review]
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
...a family film for parents who want to expose their kids to something other than wisecracking cartoon characters, a story with heart, spirit and boundless faith in youth. [read review] B+
--David Germain (TheJournalNews)
It's been a long time that something as affecting and heart-warming yet melancholic has been wrapped up into one package as effectively as 'Finding Neverland' does. [read review] 
--M.P. Bartley (eFilmCritic.com)
While the film does work – to a certain extent – I was always left craving more, as plot points weren’t as well developed as they could’ve been. [read review] B-
--Lee Tistaert (Lee's Movie Info)
It can be a curse or a blessing, depending on how it works for you, but it usually stems from the pains of growing up. [read review]
--Collin Souter (eFilmCritic.com)
Along with The Incredibles, Finding Neverland is another worthy masterpiece that the entire family can enjoy. [read review]
--Laura Kyle (eFilmCritic.com)
Johnny Depp soars high as "Peter Pan" playwright J.M. Barrie, but this movie doesn't ever quite take off. [read review]
--Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)
"Finding Neverland" is a beautifully crafted exploration of the many dimensions of the human heart. [read review]
--Paul Clinton (CNN Showbiz)
Finding Neverland is highly entertaining while packing a giant emotional punch. [read review]
