    You can see Neverland as sly philosophical discourse, or you can see it as fantastically produced adventure. Just make sure you see it.

    Neverland adds clever new twists to the origin story of Peter Pan and Captain Hook while remaining unpretentiously faithful to the adventurous spirit of the original.

    The story occasionally gets convoluted, or slightly exhausting....But the cast is so strong that there is always something to marvel at.
