Edward Scissorhands 1990

Edward Scissorhands is an extraordinarily beautiful and imaginative fantasy tale from writer/director Tim Burton. The aesthetic look, the wonderful performances, and the enchanting music all work in sync to perfectly create a magical fairytale for the modern age. Both Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder give mesmerizing performances that draw in the audience. And, Vincent Price has an excellent cameo role that is perfectly tailored for this Frankenstein-like story. Additionally, enough cannot be said about Danny Elfman’s majestic score, which brilliantly captures the spirit and tone of the film. While most of Burton’s films have a surreal quality, it’s rarely as poetic and lovely as is Edward Scissorhands.
