Finding Neverland

Charming, enchanting, superb entertainment, moving, humorous – the accolades have been heaped on this lovely film. It has superb performances from all the cast, especially the incomparable Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet – and young Freddie Highmore. Suitable for teaching to all levels, it is a film that, in the words of the CNN critic, "displays a deep understanding of the language of cinema."  At only 92 minutes long, it is very manageable for the classroom.
