A tale of woe, longing, love and fantasy

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2005)

When you hear of fairy tales, you think dragons princesses and horror. But what Tim Burton does here is make a fairy tale that people can relate to, a modern, meaningful story.
Edward is a creation that was isolated from the near by suburbs when his inventor died. But, when a thoughtful Avon Lady finds him and takes him home with her.
As the plot thickens, the town's people struggle to handle the hands of Edward.
This film is a classic and has a moral which is unmissable. "Never judge a book by its cover." Edward is a part of us that has once been. Apart that feels different and abnormal.
A truly moving and beautiful film!
