Finding Neverland Depp shines in this loose biopic of Peter Pan creator, J. M. Barrie.

Plot Handicapped by his own success, playwright J. M. Barrie (Depp) is depressed by his apparent importance in the critical world. Then a meeting with a widowed mother (Winslet) and her four sons sparks a lasting friendship and the inspiration for his greatest work: Peter Pan. Verdict By turns uplifting and heartbreaking, Neverland is infused with a sense of soaring wonder throughout. Peter Pan may still be looking for a perfect adaptation, but his creator has been granted the treatment he so richly deserves.
