Review of Neverwas (2005) by Matt C — 15 Jul 2007
Great film with an amazing performance by McKellen (most famously known as Gandalf). Eckhart does a good job too in a role that requires quite a bit more drama than his usual ones (The Core, Thank You For Smoking). Brittany Murphy also does well and believe it or not she isn't a drugged out, trashy whore.
Anyway. The movie reminds me of a combination between K-Pax, Bridge to Terebithia, and Terrance Gilliam's The Fisher King. And go ahead and toss in a little bit of Big Fish while you're at it.
Great movie that was quite a surprise to find at the movie store. I had never even heard of it--and that rarely happens.
