I fell for this movie like Edward fell for Kim

Rating: 8/10 (25 June 2004)

Wow! After always wanting to see this film (I'd seen the ending on TV and it looked really good) I've now seen it twice! I just love it! It's not my favourite film but I rate it very highly. The acting from Winona Ryder, Johnny Depp and Dianne Wiest is excellent and the story.....well, it's just brilliant! The first time I watched it all the way through I was a little surprised because -having only previously seen the ending- I thought it would be a really sad, powerful film and I was shocked to find comedy moments in it! But, after seeing it twice (the second time I bawled my eyes out- especially when Edward stares down at his broken hands and dead 'father' and that tear-jerking music is playing) I can safely say it is one of the most well-acted, well-directed, emotional films I've ever seen. It's definitely one of my favourites!
