Wendy

Beasts of the Southern Wild director Benh Zeitlin’s long-awaited follow-up retells the beloved tale of the boy who wouldn’t grow up, but from the perspective of his headstrong female friend.

In this reimagining of Peter Pan, Wendy hails from a rural town in the American South. One day, she catches a boy hopping onto a train and, lured by mystery and a chance to escape her monotonous life, she jumps aboard, her two brothers in tow. Soon enough, she meets Peter and his island of verdant foliage, forever-young mischief-makers and a glimmering, gigantic underwater creature called ‘Mother’.

The vocative, sun-kissed cinematography, an enchanting score, a spellbinding lead performance and a dynamic storyline will beguile viewers all the way to Neverland.
