Review of Big Eyes (2014) by Gamzguy17 — 21 Aug 2021
"Big Eyes" boasts a wonderful performance by Amy Adams, solid shot work, and bright colours; all letting us see some majesty in Keane's work. The story of Margaret Keane continues to be a relevant one in today's business/arts world.
It's too bad, however, that Burton's trademark direction is far better suited for fantasies and the macabre, not for 'based on real events' dramas. The misdirection causes a nasty clash of styles that becomes especially revealing during the horrendously offbeat climax, spearheaded by an increasingly cheesy, over-the-top performance by Christoph Waltz.
