Great performance form Angelina Jolie in a not so great film.
Following her committal to a mental institute, we follow the experiences of Susanna (Winona Ryder) in the late 1960s. Based on the book by the same name, which I've heard a lot of good things about, I failed to really be engaged by Susanna's story. I never felt for her struggle or journey, in fact, I was bored by it. I'm normally a huge Ryder fan but this just didn't work for me.

Without the strong showing by Angelina Jolie as the full-on wackjob with a personality, I might not of made it to the end.

A fairly uninspiring film for a story that should of been emotionally engaging.

I think the book may be better for me as I engage with them more than movies, I'm pretty harsh in movies as a result. But so many books to read and so little time.....

Ha! I know the feeling. I feel like I'm not going to live long enough to read all the books I have. Even if I lived to be 100, I'd still need about a million years more!

I loved this book! it wasnt what i expected when i chose it but i wasnt disappointed.
The story is loosely based around peter pan and the lost boys and wendy but with a modern twist and set in the real world.
"Neverland" becomes a facility where experiments are carried out on children with the goal being that the children will develope special powers.
The story is easy to read and follow, the characters are engaging and loveable and i throughly enhoyed it.
