Hm. I'm not sure how I feel about FN. I - strongly dislike - readings of Peter Pan that go overboard on the Llewellyn Davies business. And Depp isn't quite the right kind of freak in it.
The main problem I have with FN, actually, is the way it imagines Peter Pan as not inherently containing Wendy, as being a Boys Own game with a girl thrown in at the last minute. Wendy has too much narrative centrality for that reading to be legitimate.
