Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2012)

A big film, a wonderful and inspiring one. I love every single frame of it, it's treatment, the story line, the editing, the colors, the actors
Burton shows the rivalry between father and son but not the rancor, which seems to fit with the film's calm lyricism. But the father-son conflict is meant as the dramatic crux, and a forceful actor would have given it some much-needed bite. For the first time since Ed Wood, Burton has transcended his hermetically-sealed world and connected with wider concerns. A continuously surprising journey, highly re-watchable, and one of the best endings I've ever seen Love love love...
