      An impeccably made and genuinely moving account of how Scottish author J.M. Barrie came to write "Peter Pan."

      Entertainment Weekly

      Depp portrays a fellow who is openly gentle to the core, and the actor just about wraps the movie around his lilting delivery and quiescent gaze.

      Compelling and life-affirming.

      The plays and amusements the boys put on--by far the most successfully magical scenes in the movie--inspire Barrie to create his great work, "Peter Pan."

      Village Voice

      Depp and Highmore's final scene together strikes a muted blow of desolation -- bottomless but just bearable -- that Forster rather bravely lets stand as the last word on all the fanciful solace that Barrieland had to offer.
