The British magazine FILM REVIEW has named FINDING NEVERLAND the movie highlight of its November 2004 issue; its review awards the film five stars, the highest possible rating. “This masterfully spun tale about the transforming power of imagination can’t fail to touch your heart with its spellbinding blend of fact, fiction, everyday Edwardian reality and magical fantasy,” says FILM REVIEW. “Forster’s moving masterpiece has it all–a terrific script, an ace cast and an involving intimate drama–all shot through with sparkling bursts of sublime invention.” The reviewer has high praise for all the cast, and takes particular note of the “sure-fire Oscar-worthiness” of Johnny’s and Julie Christie’s performances. “Depp continues to astonish with his acting range,” notes FILM REVIEW, “and here he gives yet another superb performance as the Scottish writer keeping his child-like spirit vibrantly alive.” The Zone thanks suec for posting the entire review on the News & Views forum . . . but beware, there are many spoilers lurking in those paragraphs of praise.
