Leave your thoughts about Neverwas.
| Film ScoutsJason GorberGood actors are wasted, sets dominate storytelling, and it's all based on the most banal and artificial of children's tales. Avoid. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenAt a time when most films lack subtlety, it is rare to find one as delicate, wistful and tender as 'Neverwas.' |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...unlikely to find much of an audience outside of the film festival circuit. |
| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterWriter/ director Joshua Michael Stern has crafted something more than a mess and something less than a film that hits home. Neverwas never does quite win us over. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioSeems rather a waste to use name actors and then not have them actually do anything. |
| User ReviewWes GThis move reallly is great and with Sir Ian McKellen how can your go wrong? I must admit that at first I didn't have a clue as to what I was watching but as the movie progressed I was enthralled. It does get slow in some places but it's wonderful movie and I recommend it to anyone. |
| User ReviewMonica MI came across this film by accident - it was on tv yesterday and as I saw it had a good cast - I watched it. Aaaand I really liked it. Great images, great music, great acting. I'm not a fantasy person really but somehow the story of this film got to me. Pretty dark story too of course. We all have our demons, right? |
| User ReviewMichael PAn awesome film that I came across on satellite awhile back. The acting was great. Eckhart, McKellen and Nolte in particular. The score and script were great as well. A dark dramatic fantasy film that is pieced together very well. A wonderful film that some how so few have seen. Worth seeing! |
| User ReviewValerie GAt first I thought it would be a light movie... Boy was I wrong... one of the best movie I saw! A great movie about mental illness, the effect on the family... A must see! |
