Film: Edward Scissorhands (1990)

DVD: Anamorphic
Edward Scissorhands (Widescreen Anniversary Edition)

"What happened to you? Where are your parents? Your mother? Your father?"
"He didn't wake up."

Review: I like and dislike this movie. I enjoy the concept, the art direction and watching Edward interact with the family and neighbors but the movie is at the same time pretty depressing and doesn't delve more than skin-deep into any of the characters.

"It's not heaven he's from! It's straight from the stinking flames of hell! The power of Satan is in him, I can feel it. Can't you? Have you poor sheep strayed so far from the path?"
"We're not sheeps."

2 1/2 out of 4 Stars
