The film revolves around the life of author J.M. Barrie (Johnny Depp), one of the greatest storytellers in the world. It is a film that embodies the life of this man, revealing the real relationships and events that were the basis of his most famous works.
Finding Neverland is about the importance of hanging on to belief in something that transcends the empirical world. It's a gentle, graceful, and unsentimental film.
Like Big Fish and The Neverending Story, this is a film that reminds us that life, coloured by our perceptions, is what we make it; all we have to do is believe.
Finding Neverland is not exactly the way it happened, but this is a movie with a higher truth, one we need to believe in. And you will believe. You will.
