98A life-affirming, empathetic work. This is as good as it gets in terms of Tim Burton, but it's also one of the greatest films of the 1990s, so it's no small feat. Watching it, all I could do is marvel at the glorious monochrome imagery, towering performances, and Burton's warmth and care for the subject and the aesthetic. Best scene: Ed Wood sharing his secret to the woman who would become his second wife in the middle of a malfunctioning Dark Ride. Surrounded by the macabre is a person looking to be accepted as they are.
Didn't know Burton had this kind of movie in him. Really excellent but I was distracted by the fact that Sarah Jessica Parker simply does not have 1950s face
