Finding Neverland - (Forster;2004;UK/USA) - ***1/2
After a flop, writer J.M. Barrie begins to find the inspiration in a widow and her children to write Peter Pan.
The problem I felt throughout the film is the heavy sentimental feeling. Perhaps if it was based directly from the true story rather then the play inspired by the true story it could've been better. However this still manages to be a great film, mainly due to Depp and Winslet's acting and Forster's direction. The kids, Hoffman, and Christie support the film very well. The music is also good as well, although I don't know if it deserved the Oscar.
