Anyone attempting to reimagine the whimsical nature that defines Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie for cinema is in for a challenge. Writer-Director Benh Zeitlin tries, and with Eliza Zeitlin sharing the credit in their screenplay, the story can’t decide if it should entirely focus on this title character or simply be about motherhood.
The odd part is that Wendy (Devin France) is the youngest of the Darling family and along with her older siblings are wisked off to a fantasy island where they can be care free.
