What this absorbing documentary proves is that writer J.M. Barrie, creator of the immortal children's fantasy character Peter Pan, was just as exuberant and rebellious as his creation.

But what he really represents is an extension of Barrie himself, a man known for his barrier-breaking imagination and whose friendship with the Llewelyn Davis family inspired the LostBoys of his fable.
