What's Eating Gilbert Grape [1993] (Johnny Depp, Leonardo Di Caprio, Juliette Lewis)

Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Sweetness that doesn't turn saccharine is hard to find these days; Finding Neverland hits the mark. Much credit is due to the actors: Johnny Depp applies his genius for sly whimsy in his portrayal of playwright J. M. Barrie, who finds inspiration for his greatest creation from four lively boys, the sons of widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Kate Winslet, who miraculously fuses romantic yearning with common sense). Though the friendship threatens his already dwindling marriage, Barrie spends endless hours with the boys, pretending to be pirates or Indians--and gradually the elements of Peter Pan take shape in his mind. The relationship between Barrie and the Llewelyn Davies family sparks both an imagined world and a quiet rebellion against the stuffy forces of respectability, given physical form by Barrie's resentful wife (Radha Mitchell, High Art) and Sylvia's mother (Julie Christie, McCabe and Mrs. Miller). This gentle silliness could have turned to treacle, but Depp and Winslet--along with newcomer Freddie Highmore as one of the boys--keep their feet on the earth while their eyes gaze into their dreams. Also featuring a comically crusty turn from Dustin Hoffman (who appeared in another Peter Pan-themed movie, Hook) as a long-suffering theater producer. --Bret Fetzer

- good but not great
The plot is a little boring but great acting from Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet.

- Heart rending.
Finding Neverland dramatises the events surrounding and inspiration for Peter Pan. Based in fact but using large dollops of artistic licence creates a magical yarn worthy of J.M. Barrie himself.
Jonny Depp irritatingly convincing as the legendary playwrite and Kate Winslet at her endearing best apply tolerable amounts of smaltz. Essentially an affecting period drama which borrows a little pixie dust to elivate this movie into the great category.
Great evening viewing with your significant other.

I watched this film first on the plane to Gran Canaria! And as far an inflight entertainment goes it was perfect! It really set the right mood for my holiday! When I got home i bought it on DVD!

It's such a poignant film which really moves you. Its also educational as it tells you how Peter Pan came about. But above all it has teh perfect acting duo of Kate Winslet and Johnny Depp. They compliment each other beautifully and really tell a story. It's a heart warming family film, which may make you cry due to some saddening content, but thats over ridden by the rest of the film anyway.

A genuinly lovely film.

- The best film ever... Full stop.
I bought this film on the day of release and still to this day I think about it and it warms my heart. Johnny Depp is the best actor of our time, his performance as Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie is, in my opinion, his best performance and he will have to go a while to better it.
Michael, played by Luke Spill (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), is an amazing actor for such a young age and has a great future ahead of him. I know Johnny Depp is very impressed with his performance and credits him as one of his best friends.
The soundtrack to this film will last a lifetime, it honestly does create a tone to this film which is breathtaking, I cant help but have a lump in my throat when i listen to Peter Pan Overture.

FINDING NEVERLAND has proven to be the perfect film for Christmas or New Year. Although I am not a fan of Peter Pan or J. M. Barrie's other work, this film is truly beautiful and touching.

Johnny Depp plays the playwright, Barrie who is struggling to find the right magical ingredient for his plays. Then, a chance meeting with a widow (Kate Winslet) and her four sons in the park opens up his life and gives him the opportunity to find what is missing.
It is through this relationship with the boys that he is able to explore his own imagination, whilst at the same time igniting theirs, and so bringing the six of them closer together.
Yet, while Barrie's relationship with the boys' mother remains platonic, because of the ... Read More:
