Johnny Depp delivers "a winning star turn" in FINDING NEVERLAND, says HOLLYWOOD REPORTER!
“Johnny Depp adds to his growing rep as a wonderful screen actor with a guileless performance as playwright James Barrie, the man who created Peter Pan,” writes Ray Bennett in his review of FINDING NEVERLAND in today’s Hollywood Reporter. Bennett adds, “FINDING NEVERLAND is a rewarding piece of filmmaking that has all the makings of a classic weepie with boxoffice returns to match.” Both of the big Hollywood trade publications, Variety and Hollywood Reporter, have now given rave reviews to FINDING NEVERLAND–they single out Johnny’s performance for the highest praise, but they also love the film, Kate Winslet, the supporting cast, Marc Forster’s sensitive direction, and the overall look and style of the movie. The trades are predicting great success for FINDING NEVERLAND at the box office, and they also expect its excellence to be recognized at awards season. Thanks, Emma, for sharing this great review with the Zone. You can read Ray Bennett’s complete review on the News & Views forum, but once again beware of spoilers–for some reason these critics seem compelled to give away the entire plot of the movie!
