Wonderous Story, 2008-12-03
Finding Neverland is one of Johnny Depp's best performances. Why? Because you look at him and really believe that the dreams of a child still dwell within him. That's part of the magic of Finding Neverland. The blu-ray edition is beautiful to look at. All of the make-believe sequences really stand out. The audio is solid. It only contains the special features from the regular DVD, but that's not a big selling point for me. What is a selling point for me is that even in the face of adversity, this movie reminds you that you can believe whatever you want and make it real. Watching the expressions of the children during the opening night of Peter Pan made me weep. It was so wonderful to see the hope and joy in their eyes. As an adult it's easy to get lost in the minutiae of everyday life, but this movie (as does The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) allows us to be as free as we want. Imagination, memory, and will are all we need, and we can then go to Neverland.

Classic, they don't make too many movies like this anymore., 2008-09-25
Finding Neverland is a very emotional and inspiring movie that resonates the soul. I thoroughly enjoyed the story of the author who wrote Peter Pan and the imagination and artistic fortitude that existed in those times. I also enjoyed the underlying love story that focused on caring for people unconditionally. The cinemotagraphy, to the acting is all first class. Sorry, no violence in this one bro.

Clarity of speech needs to be improved say our guests who viewed the DVD with us. I agree. Volume had to be boosted significantly.

Welcome to Blu-Ray, 2008-07-23
My sons insist that blu-ray is the way to go, so I did. After watching 'Happy Feet' with them I was sold. The detail is amazing. Finding Neverland is one of my favorite story-within-a-story movies. I don't buy all movies on blu-ray (meaning some of the ones I already own), but this one had to be. It's wonderfully done. Kate Winslet is so ethereally beautiful that I love her in anything, and Johnny Depp is perfect in the part. Her boys, befriended by Depp at a time when their mother was dying, were made more thoughtful and appreciative of the magic of the story of Peter Pan and its first debut on the London stage. I love watching the face of a little boy seeing his first 'magical' performance without the blase' expression which kids now would show to anything not graphically enhanced.
