After watching, you may well wish that Peter Pan could be re-copyrighted to be kept out of the hands of anyone inclined to make this much of a mess of it.

The casting is amazing... But then De Paolis goes and casts herself as the namesake and granddaughter of Redgrave’s Wendy and, with a screenplay as awkward as her acting, no amount of fairy dust can help her rise to the level of her stellar cast.

Incoherently directed, thematically muddled, and poorly acted, writer/director/producer/star Livia De Paolis’ drama The Lost Girls should have stayed on the page.

The ambition cannot be faulted. But it’s marred by oh-so-many flaws.

Amidst a flood of remakes and sequels, it’s easily one of the most original movies you’re likely to see this year.

This may actually be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It's unfortunate because the concept is actually really good, but the acting is absolutely horrid, especially from the main character. I would love to see this movie re-done with the same concept, but completely different director and cast.

This is the worst movie I've seen. The acting is comically bad. I was reminded of The Room while I was watching this. Don't waste your time!

It had an intriguing start and a couple of mildly engaging plot points that unfortunately came to no narrative or thematic fruition. The movie took a nosedive for me the moment Livia De Paolis' character appeared. I went online to see how come the actress was so miscast just to find out she was the director herself. For one thing, she doesn't remotely look like younger versions and older relatives of her character, secondly, she acts so poorly that the annoying character traits are not softened by any hint of warmth or charisma, but rather, are aggravated even more. It's a pity the movie turned out to be a waste of many good, well-cast actors and a primising premise...

The Lost Girls enchanting book was blemished by Livia De Paolis' attempt to be all things: Director, Producer, Writer, and Actor of the film. But, De Paolis' decision to cast herself as the Lead Character in the film was unfortunate. The timeless adage about "not being your own lawyer" applied here. It was distracting when Livia appeared as adult Wendy. She didn't have similar facial structure as teenage Wendy; or acting skills equal to the impressive performances by Vanessa Redgrave, Joely Richardson, Iain Glen, and others (which were delightful).
