Edward Sissorhands is a beautiful, dark, heart touching film. The plot seems somewhat simple,
The local Vancom lady stumbles upon a mansion at the edge of her seemingly perfect neighborhood. There she finds Edward, a young and quiet man with scissors for hands, and takes him to live with her and her family. All the ladies in the neighborhood are instantly interested, as well as their husbands. They befriend Edward, and teach him all that he has missed out on in life.
But the movie is filled with memories, lies and deep undertones. Later will come into play the moral of 'don't judge a book by it's cover.' With wonderful acting by Johnny Depp (Chocolat, Sleepy Hollow) and supporting actress Winona Ryder(Beetle Juice, Girl, Interrupted) this film will make you cry, laugh, and leave you begging for more.
10/10
