This movie hits all the right notes

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 2015)

Edward Scissorhands is a very unique film. It's dark, funny, sad, Gothic, but most of all, beautiful. The movie is powered by strong performances from Depp and Ryder, in a movie that sends a powerful message on "judging a book by its cover". Everything in this movie is so well done: the cinematography using the trademark Burton style using models of the town as seen in Beetlejuice; the acting, the soundtrack, the amazing makeup and costumes, it all fits in perfectly to create what is arguably Burton's best movie. What's most funny about the movie is the town filled with housewives that gossip about pretty much everything and anyone. They are full of themselves and just fake and shallow, but it's presented in a great, funny way. The romance in the movie is also great.
Edward Scissorhands is a masterpiece, a beautiful movie that will transcend and continue to cause emotions on viewers for a long time.
