By Linda Cook (1,442) for Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) (1,206) on 25 Dec 2014

The story and the storytellers are equally important in creating a fascinating tale. And then, of course, there's the director…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Scott Nash (692) for Three Movie Buffs (692) on 25 Dec 2014

An unusually ordinary film from Tim Burton…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Jason Zingale (478) for Bullz-Eye.com (1,091) on 25 Dec 2014

While Big Eyes features some strong lead performances and a fascinating story, just like Margaret Keane's paintings, it never amounts to more…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Luke Goodsell (126) for Movie Mezzanine (782) on 25 Dec 2014

Big Eyes is most alive when Burton is doodling in the margins…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 25 Dec 2014

Tim Burton buttons down his kooky expressiveness with Big Eyes, but the resulting film is one of his better (and more self-reflective) in recent…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Jim Judy (1,199) for Screen It! (1,437) on 25 Dec 2014

Burton delivers what could be one of his most conventional pics. (Full Content Review -- Sex, Profanity, etc. -- for Parents also available)…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Melissa Weller (12) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 24 Dec 2014

The story of Walter and Margaret Keane is bona fide movie material through and through, but rich narrative drama is just not part of Burton's…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 24 Dec 2014

The end result is a breezy look into a bizarre corner of pop-culture history, but it isn't much more substantial than Burton's recent cinematic…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By A.o. Scott (2,100) for New York Times (5,786) on 24 Dec 2014

Trying to do Margaret justice, Mr. Burton can’t prevent himself (and Mr. Waltz) from upstaging her…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 24 Dec 2014

Fortunately for Burton, Big Eyes is actually good. Not great, but good enough -- the perfect middlebrow portrait of the ultimate middlebrow artist…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Calvin Wilson (480) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 24 Dec 2014

Throughout his career, Burton has always been capable of surprising audiences. Big Eyes is no exception…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Bill Gibron (1,013) for Film Racket (579) on 24 Dec 2014

Burton pulls back on his traditional Goth goofiness to give these characters and their story the respect they deserve…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Edward Douglas (1,395) for ComingSoon.net (2,031) on 24 Dec 2014

Fails to convey the material in a particularly creative or inventive way with Waltz's constant scenery-chewing detracting from any insight…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 24 Dec 2014

Represents a solid return to form for Burton, even if it never attains the dizzying heights of 'Ed Wood…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 24 Dec 2014

We’re left with an enigma that is insufficiently probed: How does art this banal nevertheless capture us…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Chris Knight (998) for National Post (1,405) on 24 Dec 2014

I hate to say it, but Big Eyes just isn't weird enough for director Tim Burton…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Rex Reed (1,506) for New York Observer (1,400) on 24 Dec 2014

Nimble, off the beaten track and very entertaining, it’s the cinematic equivalent of a lava lamp…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By James Adams (62) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 24 Dec 2014

Burton lets his film putter along in middle gear, provoking neither riotous laughter nor emotional immersion…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for Newark Star-Ledger (1,745) on 24 Dec 2014

What matters is, does the artist speak through this work? And does this work speak to you? And Big Eyes does. I just wish it spoke louder…

Review of Big Eyes (2014)

By Mike Mcgranaghan (1,821) for Aisle Seat (1,783) on 24 Dec 2014

Delightfully entertaining. The first live-action movie Tim Burton has made in a decade where you can tell he actually gave a rip about the material…
