Big Fish

Big Fish
A wonderfully stylish and slick Tim Burton film, one that I simply adore. It is not as macabre and dark as some of his works, but it is simply magnificent. Laura did not agree with me on this view and found it slightly tiresome, but it is a marvellous story. It takes you on weird and wonderful adventures that films these days don't often do.

Each of the characters are excellent, from Ewan McGregor's Young Ed Bloom, to Albert Finney's older version, Alison Lohman's young Sandra Bloom to Jessica Lange's older version. Lots of different characters which are all wonderfully written.

It melds the bizarreness of Burton with a touching family drama. All in all a fantastic film, which leads me to give it...

★★★★☆
