I watched this recently and thought it was a wonderful film. Depp's perfromance is just amazing. He even delivers a very good scottish accent!

I think he's the finest actor of his generation. Anyone else seen this film?
 
I cried so much!! i love that movie so much. Both Kate Winslet and Johnny Depp were fabulous. I have it on DVD,n i absoloutely adore it.

I just saw this today and I liked it very much, I cried too :( I read a bio about J.M. Barrie about 2 years back and the movie seemed to stick with the bio I had read.
 
It's a very touching and emotional film. A great cast and fantastic performances. How Depp can be nominated for an Oscar for the Pirates and not for this is beyond me (but then Depp has deserved Oscar nominations for nearly every performance since Edward Scissorhands)

I watched The Incredibles just before I watched Finding Neverland. Two hours of laughing followed by two hours of crying my eyes out. Great film.
 
I'd been looking forward to seeing this for a long time when I finally rented the DVD last month. But I was a little disappointed in the end, I must say. It just seemed to lack something... I can't put my finger on it. It was still a good film, and yes, it was sad. But... I don't know. Maybe I built it up too much.
 
Kookamoor- i felt the exact same way. i felt the ending was missing something but i just attributed it to how i expected it to end, and also to how much i had built it up.
 
I think that the end stayed true to the real story though, if I remember the bio, Barrie did receive custody of the kids after their mother died and there was a lot of speculation as to why.
 
I thought it was a very touching film, but when it comes to the academy, it is very overrated. The Woodsman should have taken its place, which is a very underrated film.
 
I enjoyed this movie. After this movie, I came to the conclusion that Depp really is a superb actor. I think it was after watching this movie, and a handful of other Depp films recently, that led me to this deduction. Why didn't I realize this before??

I think the something missing at the end, for me, was the fact it wasn't a happily ever after ending. What can I say? I like my fairy tale endings. I didn't want things to end the way they did.
