Big Eyes.

With a premise so dark and complicated, it gets difficult to pull off such a pitch in a dark tone, instead the makers here decide to take it lightly with a hint of comic tone which unfortunately shatters the gravitas of the character and the structure of the script. It seemed like the creators didn't willingly supervised to tell the story which is clearly visible in each frame as there is zero passion and enthusiasm on screen in any single aspect. The adaptation isn't as smart as the writers think and addition to that it is a bit chalky around the edges, even though it has its few moments that gives hope to the viewers. Tim Burton whose love for cinema is usually visible, is the missing puzzle and the reason why he fails to execute the anticipated vision on screen. On performance objective too, there appears to be a weakness which comes as a shock considering the potential of the cast like Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz. The feature is shot beautifully and is immensely pleasing on visual aesthetics but unfortunately all of it fades away quickly. Big Eyes is a narrow and blurred sight that is not aware of the vision and the trajectory that it wishes to follow and is the only reason why it never connects with the viewers.
