One of the best movies of Tim Burton's career

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2019)

Tim Burton, who in terms of world building and visuals is a unique and imaginative filmmaker, has the reputation of being a subpar storyteller. But with Ed Wood, he has finally made a film that not only looks good but also has a good story. At first, I was not all that enamored by the picture. But as I kept watching, it started to grow on me and when it was all said and done, I was thoroughly pleased. In terms of casting, Johnny Depp was a perfect choice to play the "worst director in history" Ed Wood. His cheerful and optimistic attitude was the highlight of the picture. A terrific performance. The black and white cinematography was absolutely the right choice and gave the film an authentic atmosphere. Johnny Depp and Tim Burton have made a charming and funny picture about the moviemaking process.
