Beautifully Strange

Rating: 8/10 (23 January 2018)

Guillermo del Toro: "What if Elliott had SEX with E.T.?!?!"
(Seemingly the entire world): "YES!!!!"
This is the movie Tim Burton wishes he could still make. A weird and melancholic look at what it means to be "good" versus what it means to be "real". Full of complex emotions, circumstantial morality, incredible acting, and del Toro's signature eye for perfect design, it's pretty remarkable...even if I couldn't fully connect with it.
