Editorial Review:
Product Description:
THE TALE OF A MAN WHO DISCOVERS THAT HIS CHILDHOOD FANTASY WORLD, THE WORLD OF HIS FATHER'S RENOWNED CHILDREN'S BOOK, 'NEVERWAS', MAY ACTUALLY EXIST.
Amazon.com:
A stellar cast buoys Neverwas, a 2005 feature written and directed by Joshua Michael Stern. And what a lineup it is. Aaron Eckhart stars as Zach, a psychiatrist who abandons his cushy gig at Cornell in order to work at a funky, underfunded New England institution run by Dr. Peter Reed (an underused William Hurt), where his own father (Nick Nolte, seen in various flashbacks), who wrote the wildly popular children's book named in the title but was also a manic depressive, was briefly ensconced before killing himself, leaving his young son burdened with the grim memory of finding the body. Ian McKellen is Gabriel, a patient at the nuthouse in question who knows a good deal more about Zach's dad than Zach does; Jessica Lange is his boozy, annoying mother; Brittany Murphy is his love interest; and other patients include Michael Moriarty, The Departed's Vera Farmiga, and Bill Bellamy. Their respective agents must have had a field day determining the billing order, but Neverwas, which bears a passing resemblance to Finding Neverland and The Fisher King, doesn't seem to know what kind of picture it wants to be. It's not family fare, as themes like suicide and mental illness are too dark and complex for kids. It's not a romance, nor is it a fantasy, a father-son drama, or an adventure. Not that it doesn't have its strong points: McKellen lights up the screen every time he appears on it, the cinematography is often quite lovely, and the overall notion of life and art as a circular form, as in Zach's having to figure out how he fit into both his dad's book (the hero is a boy named Zachary) and his real life, is intriguing. On balance, however, Neverwas is a whole that is disappointingly less than the sum of its parts. --Sam Graham

This is one of those movies that barely appeared and promptly vanished in spite of a cast of excellent actors and a so-so premise beautifully worked out. Note that I said actors, not stars. A handful of less than stellar initial reviews probably also torpedoed the production upon release, which is a pity: god knows that far, far worse productions endure a much more scathing reception, and yet endure, spread all over the movie-publicity complex and your neighborhood Cineplex for months.

A movie with a developing plot that unfolds in its own time, Likable characters, a few interesting twists and turns, almost a child's story, but very much adult. Worth a watch.

Watch the whole thing! Nothing frustrates me more than people who give bad reviews based on the first 30-45 minutes of a movie. It's sometimes slow, not much time in the fairytale itself, but it's an enjoyable movie with a wonderful cast. I absolutely loved the end. By that time, if you allow it, you absolutely believe in Neverwas!

If you love to journal and altered things, then this is a very cool movie! I loved the whole theme of the movie but the visuals were especially cool. So much so, that I purchased a copy of the movie to watch over and over again.

My family and I chose to watch this movie with no prior knowledge of it, we just thought we'd give it a try. And now, I have to say I'm appalled that I hadn't heard of Neverwas before then. It's a beautiful movie, with an incredible cast and a fabulous story, and not to mention visually stunning as well.
To briefly outline the beginning, a psychologist(Aaron Eckhart) returns to the town he grew up in, and starts working at an asylum of sorts where his father had spent time. His father ... Read More
