Description
Well-known playwright James M. Barrie finds his career at a crossroads when his latest play flops and doubters begin to question his future. Then by chance he meets a widow and her four adventurous boys. Together they form a friendship that ignites the imagination needed to produce Barrie's greatest work. Traverses both fantasy and everyday reality, melding the difficulties of adult life with the spellbinding allure and childlike innocence of the boy who never grows up.Tags

An excellent film, about JM Barrie (Johnny Depp) and the inspiration and making of 'Peter Pan', the play that made him famous. Some deviations from the true story, of course, but beautifully made, with superb performances by Depp, Kate Winseltte, and the young Freddie Highmore.
Suitable for anyone, although there's a sad scene at the end which could be traumatic for some, and the storyline is unlikely to be of interest to anyone under the age of about ten or eleven anyway. The rating of PG seems exactly right.
Highly recommended.
