Finding Neverland / UK / USA / 2004

The context of current entertainment affairs made these a very uncomfortable two hours for these eyes to endure. A successful, male artist with porcelain features enjoys the company of a group of young boys, introducing them to his fantasy world — called “Neverland” — in which they can all escape the responsibilities and difficulties of the ‘real world’ and courts some controversy over the status of his ‘relationships’ as a result.

The similarity to Michael Jackson’s so-called “trial of the century” is perhaps a tenuous one, especially since the film was made in 2004, but so little did Finding Neverland move me otherwise that the comparison made in my mind at the start of the film only grew as each minute moved by.
