never disappoints

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2019)

My favorite Tim Burton flick by far, which is a high bar indeed. Holds up over time & with repeated viewings. Unlike some of Burton's efforts, there are no wincing moments in the grand Southern Fable. Top shelf performances from all, with a distinguished cast, pulling out all the stops. Bold & stunning cinematography from Philippe Rousselot matched by the superb set/art work/special .
Daniel Wallace's Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions, proved the perfect vehicle for Tim Burton's over the top directorial magic.
This story requires concentration, but gives back great dividends for the effort expended. Almost bought me a Red Dodge Charger on account of this epic, elegiac, feel good flick. An all time great, IMHO.
