WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Wendy (France) is an adventurous young girl who is apprehensive about growing up. One day, she and her siblings James and Douglas (Naquin and Naquin) are lured toward a mysterious island where time and aging does not seem to exist, and where they meet its boisterous leader: a young boy named Peter (Mack). However, the children’s joy is short-lived when they discover that the island has a darker side to it…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Benh Zeitlin returns – almost ten years after his breakout film Beasts of the Southern Wild – with a vastly original and visually fascinating take on the classic Peter Pan story.
