Johnny Depp is as versatile an actor as any in Hollywood. He is a big budget star who rarely makes mistakes in choosing his movies, and, if he does, almost single handedly manages to make something interesting of it (e.g. “Pirates of the Caribbean”). With “Finding Neverland,” a small gem of film, he plays Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie during the period he spent with the family who became the inspiration for his story. Although at times things feel bit soft around the edges, the real story was bit like a fairy tale. Kate Winslet delivers her second incredible performance of the year, this time playing the widowed, dying mother of three wonderful boys who really do need something to believe in.
