Edward Scissorhands

Edward Scissorhands is a flashy and entertaining apologia from an artist who has not accumulated enough work to justify such self-concern.

Burton's modern fairytale has an almost palpably personal feel: it is told gently, subtly and with infinite sympathy for an outsider who charms the locals but then inadvertently arouses their baser instincts.

An original movie, though not Tim Burton's best.

A delightful and delicate comic fable.

It remains curiously hollow.

With equal portions of humor and heart, this inventive, touching, poetic fairy tale is highly memorable.

The finale packs an unforgettable emotional wallop, assisted by Danny Elfman's gloriously magical score.

This is one of Burton’s best and it’s one of aesthetic power and emotional resonance. It’s a magical odyssey of invention and human emotion, with a distinguishable tone and look. 
This one is for the weirdos.

Tim Burton's most iconic film is a fairy tale about the way art is used to reflect on both traditional society and the artist's inability to fit into it.
