Finding Neverland (DVD review)

Finding Neverland (2004) starring Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet. Rarely does a movie capture and hold my attention the way this one did. Much of the credit must go to Johnny Depp, who is pitch-perfect in the role of J.M. Barrie, writer of the play "Peter Pan." Set in 1904 London, the movie is both magical and sad, funny and tragic. Although it may not be historically accurate, it works as a self-contained universe. Grade: A-
