And though the facts are all wrong and the time-scheme compressed, I think it gets at something true about Barrie's love for the family, something usually gloated over as pedophilia in a horribly cynical way. Something that is actually love. For me it was one of those films where I cried in the happy bits - when the orphans arrived at the theatre, for instance. My children liked it too. -- Diane Purkiss -- Me: Agree with every word! In spite of knowing what really did happen and over a much longer period, it really captured what I thought was the spirit of events. Johnny Depp's Scots accent was beautifully sustained, and little Peter was brilliant.
