Unique vision of Tim Burton

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2014)

Peg (Dianne Wiest) discovers a lone boy Edward (Johnny Depp) in the hill top mansion. He's been left alone after the death of his creator (Vincent Price). He has massive scissors for hands. Peg takes Edward into her own home. He later becomes infatuated with Peg's teen daughter Kim (Winona Ryder). At first, the neighbors are mostly fascinated by him with the exception of Esmeralda (O-Lan Jones) and Kim's boyfriend Jim (Anthony Michael Hall).
Tim Burton is an original. His vision is like no others. Johnny Depp is once again a great enigmatic lead just like 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' 3 years later. He is truly adorably damaged. It also speaks to the conformity of the suburbs and our acceptance of the outsider. It is a movie with heart and wonder. There is no movie like it.
