A heartfelt, beautiful film, and one of the best dramas I've seen in years.

REVIEWS FOR FINDING NEVERLAND
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 about hanging on to that belief in something that transcends the empirical world. It's a small, gentle, graceful motion picture.

A charming and dramatic tearjerker that's sweet without resorting to syrup.

Infused by an awkward decorum; the kind that descends on a gathering dominated by an unmentioned death or transgression.
Feb 9, 2006
Plenty of narrative liberties have been taken. It doesn't matter a jot. At heart, this isn't a biography anyway, it's an ode to the power of the imagination.

A nicely played family entertainment with perhaps more mystery than it knows what to do with.

The only spark of genuine humanity appears at the very end, but by that time most great opportunities of FINDING NEVERLAND are already lost.
Jun 25, 2005
The film's about knowing where your inner child is and letting it out to explore great worlds of adventure.

'En una época tan falta de historias agradables, que rejuvenezcan el espíritu humano y nos transporten a lo mejor de nuestra infancia, un filme como este es perfecto'
Apr 4, 2005
The film is incredibly manipulative both in its script and execution, but despite this we do feel for the characters.
Mar 23, 2005
Interestingly and movingly hints at the sad future fate of his Lost Boys, but it's too timid to follow up on those dark portents.
Mar 9, 2005
Finding Neverland is sentimental, to be sure, but a wonderful find for the patient viewer.
