IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Offering an alternative origin story for JM Barrie’s most famous creation, Pan offers wondrous visuals by director Joe Wright and a magical sense of adventure in the place we all know as Neverland (that is, when you get past the uncomfortable white-washing of its Native American characters).
