one of the best burtons,done in unusual charm

Rating: Null/10 (29 June 2000)

The Basic plot : a person with scissored hands is rescued by an Avon lady who takes him to the suburbs,where he wows the burbites at first but eventually faces problems. The praise:The fairy tale quality is done in minimalism ,combined with delightful cinematography,a contrast of pastels and black& whites in the well-designed sets, character depth,climactic ending,and a sense of emotion create a piece of art.Tim Burton(who directed it) is seen in depth,character and design,while Johnny Depp is perfect as Edward.It also has charm, but in a convincing way. An underrated film from an underrated director, it was neglected at both the Golden Globes and Oscars,even where it should've won Best picture in my book over "Dances with wolves ".Vincent Price's last role,as a bonus for horror fans. The flaws:They are quite small,and include exploration of plot and detail in.
