Review of Edward Scissorhands (1990) by Felixq. — 24 Jul 2006
Out of all Burton's films, I value this one very sentimentally, as I'm sure most of the Burton-heads do. I'm quite the sucker for the sensitive, slightly defenseless male lead. Puppy-dog eyes are my achilles heel, in other words.
In the world of the absurd (and more specifically, the gothically absurd) Burton shines, and Depp's ability to just simply be anyone or anything makes this one perfect. No one can touch this one- I think it quite conclusively proves that Burton is the evil-genius we all hope he is.
