Review of Edward Scissorhands (1990) by Beth C — 13 Jan 2013
Here is the purest and most eloquent expression of Tim Burton's reoccurring 'outsider' theme to date. I could do without the reflective framing device (mainly due to the frankly unsettling old version of Kim, both in terms of acting and make up), but the film succeeds hugely as a tender modern fairytale.
Danny Elfman's heartbreaking score also deserves a special mention.
