Gene Shalit of the TODAY Show and Joel Siegel of GOOD MORNING, AMERICA both gave rave on-air reviews to FINDING NEVERLAND, pronouncing the movie “One of the best pictures of the year!” (Are you listening, Academy voters? We hope so!) Gene Shalit singled out Johnny’s work as especially brilliant, calling his portrayal of J. M. Barrie “masterful” and worthy of award consideration. Shalit also praised Johnny’s co-star Kate Winslet, calling her performance as Sylvia Llewelyn-Davies “beautiful.” Siegel concurred. He loved the film, thought the acting ensemble was brilliant, and admitted that he cried at the end. Siegel concluded his review by urging his audience to see the film. Now if only Miramax would help by opening FINDING NEVERLAND on more than 513 screens, we could all take Mr. Siegel’s advice and buy some tickets!

The Zone thanks Donna B. for her post on the News & Views forum about the TODAY show review.
