Stunning Performance by Emily Watson

Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2013)

This film features one of the truly magnificent and moving voice performances ever recorded by the incredible Emily Watson and must not be missed. While the motion picture is interesting itself, it is hardly anything special. Yet, Watson uses her voice to bring depth and life to the character of Victoria and brings fresh definition to the term "animation." While Ms. Watson has long been recognized as one of the most gifted, talented, and majestic actors working in any medium today, she proves here that there is literally no limits to what greatness she can attain. No one who hears this performance will ever forget it and it is a tribute to Tim Burton that he had the wisdom to cast her in this modest film. Simply put, this is another screen triumph by Emily Watson and something new that her millions of fans will appreciate more than words can say.
