Playwright Barrie develops his now famous play during his friendship with a widow and her boys. Johnny Depp gives another Oscar-worthy performance as J. M. Barrie. He captures the playful spirit of Peter Pan in his portrayal of the writer complete with a Scottish accent. This movie is a sleeper that will surprise you with Barrie's real life inspirations for Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, and Neverland. Whether the events in the movie really occurred or were fictionalized, Barrie would have reminded you that you have to believe. Knowing the story of Peter Pan is a prerequisite for appreciating this cleverly crafted film.
