Review of Big Eyes (2014) by Dylan R — 11 Jan 2015

Big Eyes certainly isn't what you're used to. It's unique, it's compelling, and its cast, led by Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz, make it entertaining from start to finish. As my girlfriend, Katie, said, "Some of it left me speechless.

" Waltz plays the villain so well in every film, and especially in Big Eyes, where you do not realize he is the villain till later on. The story itself is fascinating, and unpredictable, and the "paint-off" at the end in court is the climax that the audience deserves.

Although it is not perfect, it definitely shows glimpses of brilliance, which Tim Burton always provides the audience. It will certainly be remembered as one of Tim Burton's most interesting and realist films, and will also be remembered when it comes to the topic of women's rights and feminism.

It is a sad story, made happy, and was a good film to start of my year at the movies.
