Losing Neverland
Or, Why I Am No Longer A Movie Person, Part 821. I figured hey, a Saturday night, a Johnny Depp movie, go wrong. But I knew I was in deep trouble the moment Kate Winslet's character developed that fake consumptive cough (Nicole Kidman camped that ever so much better in Moulin Rouge) and I started rooting for her to die, which by God it took long enough for her to do. My favorite characters in the movie were her mother and his wife. Either I'm missing some point (hard to do since the movie tends to bring across its points with sledgehammer subtlety) or it really just wasn't that good.
