His story will touch you, even though he can't.

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2006)

In what was the first of many collaborations between Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, Depp plays a sort of Frankenstein's monster with a most unusual set of hands. When suburban career mom Peg (Dianne Wiest) brings him to her neighborhood, his life completely changes - although not necessarily for the better.
"Edward Scissorhands" is the sort of movie that you can imagine only Tim Burton directing, what with the contrasts between Gothic (the castle) and colorful (the neighborhood). Burton has made many movies set in such environments, but this one was particularly interesting. It's an eye-opening look at how our society sometimes regards outsiders.
