Beautiful and moving

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2003)

This is an absolutely amazing, beautiful film.It was the most highly anticipated movie for me this year and it fulfilled my expectations to the fullest, although I prefer the ending of the D. Wallace novel better, as it is more liberating and open to everyone's imagination.Burton's direction is one of his best, so is the wonderful Pearl Jam song, Elfman's music and the cast's performances.MacGregor is a true star, Lange is absolutely lovely and the great Finney has little to do but it does it perfectly!I just hope the Academy and the rest of the lot will appreciate this fine film as well.
