Edward Scissorhands

USA 1991, 101 minutes
Dir. Tim Burton
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Family, Comedy / Fantasy

Feat. Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Vincent Price

Aroview: This inspired contemporary fairy-tale posits Johnny Depp as a boy endowed with sharp appendages, a mixed blessing when it comes to fitting into the suburban norm. Surreal, funny and heart-wrenching, this is a bona fide modern classic.

4 stars (Very Good) Edward lives all alone in a dark cold castle high upon a hill, until one day a kind Avon lady takes him home to live with her family. Unforgettable fairytale about a goth with scissors for hands, I love love love it. ~GenXGirl

5 stars (Exceptional) Exceptional, everything is ideal, especially the contrast between the pastels of suburbia and the gothicness of Edward and his castle home. Anthony Michael Hall is surprising in his role but very good. ~dr.strangelove

4 stars (Very Good) Depp and Burton create a bond that will last many more films, with Burton fashioning a fantasy world of quirky and emotionally rich characters, and Depp masterfully filling the shoes of the central and most intriguing character. ~Tom H
