Tim Burton takes a simple premise and makes it perfectly perfect.

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2020)

The premise of an outsider coming to a new environment has been done to death, but this take on it is both entertaining, dark, bright, funny, scary everything!
Johnny Depp is brilliant as Edward, the romance is strangely touching, the music by Danny Elfman is beautiful. I could go on, but I think everything has already been said. But the character of Edward and what he goes through may be the strongest part of the movie, because of how the odd one out ends up becoming the town star but isn't immune to trouble. All of that must be seen in how the townsfolk react to him and his doing.
Go watch it, it's an entertaining movie with a lot of heart and a strong message ranking among Burton's best works.
