Really Rather Charming
19 June 2022
Those slamming this movie totally missed the nuances of what is actually a rather charming exploration of the balance between fantasy, realty and mental illness.

Is Peter real? Of course, to these women. Does the idea of him destroy and enhance their lives, yes. Is the movie well-made and acted? Yes, very much so. Are the characters compelling, believable and sympathetic? Yes, yes and yes.

I watched this because I like three of the actors and was intrigued that they might possibly have contributed to a film which was so awful the user reviews all slammed it. I was intrigued and then entertained and finally satisfied.

I did enjoy this movie and I can only guess that those who slammed it were expecting crocodiles and ticking alarm clocks, pirate battles and peter flying around and swinging his sword. What we got was mush deeper and more moving than that; and yes, I was moved.

For anyone with a sensitive and intelligent outlook, this is absolutely worth the watch.
