Reviews

First off, this movie definitely deserves it's 'R' rating. So if you're a young Leo fan, don't bother. You're too young to see it and far too young to understand it.

Onto the review. I was deeply moved by this movie. I thought Leo DiCaprio (who I usually despise) was excellent in his role. He played the part of bisexual Arthur Rimbaud very well. Very believable. David Thewlis' role was also very well acted (and quite impressive) as Paul Verlaine.

Most have said it's not an accurate portrayal of what really went on....well that's what the disclaimer on the beginning of the movie states. If you missed it, don't complain.

Basically, it will move you (unless you have no emotion at all), make you think, and perhaps shock you a bit (mainly Paul's behavior toward his wife was a bit shocking). But it is a beautifully artistic film and I urge fans of this genre to experience it.

I may be the only person here who thinks this movie was great, but that's alright by me.

I thought the performances were flawless. Jeremy Sumpter and Rachel Hurd-Wood were adorable in their roles. Jason Isaacs as Hook was also great. With Hook as the depressed and alone pirate, who is jealous of Peter, Isaacs was dead on.

The supporting cast of children were remarkable. I had read that the majority of them had no acting experience and was scared by this. But they pulled it off marvelously, with honest performances from each and every one of them.

Ludivine Sagnier was just beautiful as Tinkerbell. As was Olivia Williams as Mrs. Darling.

I have nothing bad to say about this movie. From the opening eccentric re-telling of Cinderella by Wendy and her brothers, to the end narration, this film was stunningly beautiful and emotionally moving.

Don't miss this movie. You'll regret it.

I'm so sick of seeing negative reviews for this film! I rented it last month and it is a brilliant film. I loved every moment of it.

The actors portyrals were on spot, and the cast itself was masterfully picked. Ewan McGregor, as the drugged-out rocker Curt Wild, and Jonathon Rhys-Meyers, as the glitter-covered Brian Slade aka Maxwell Demon, light up the screen. Toni Collette as Mandy Slade nails the transplanted American in 1970's London. Christian Bale personally blew me away as Arthur Stewart. Excellent. And Eddie Izzard as Jerry Devine was a fine choice. Perfect for the ambitious agent.

The music, itself, really drives the film. Covers abound throughout and are wonderfully done.

Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this movie and I highly reccommend it.

I bow down to you, Todd Haynes, for bringing us such a wonderful, moving film.
