Burton wraps it all in his singular vision, devoid of bells and whistles and all the more potent for its comparative subtlety.October 05, 2008
Typically, Burton's storytelling is sometimes erratic, but his emphasis on humanizing marginal characters -- a project that seems central to his artistic agenda -- is as strong as ever.January 01, 2000
Burton has evoked the surface of Ed Wood's life, but in a story about a man who loves angora and frilly panties, he has barely unbuttoned Wood's uniform.July 30, 2007
It's refreshing to see Burton in a relatively upbeat mood, but he picked the wrong story to give an optimistic spin.October 14, 2013
A masterful ode to movie making and the horror genre.October 05, 2008
The film's greatest achievement is to avoid the easy, patronizing laughs and instead see the near heroic qualities of a patently untalented artist.January 26, 2006
It certainly succeeds as a funny, touching tribute to tenacity, energy, ambition and friendship.October 12, 2010
Depp-led cult-director bio delves into cross-dressing, kink.January 01, 2000
Given the finished film, one also has to wonder if Ed Wood was interesting enough to base a two- hour movie on.May 20, 2003
Mr. Depp isn't best known as a comic actor, but he gives a witty and captivating performance, bringing wonderful buoyancy to this crazy role.October 05, 2008
Beguiling rather than thrilling, oddly charming instead of transporting, meaning that Disney will have its work cut out for it with what is at heart a cult movie and a film buff's dream.May 12, 2001
Outrageously disjointed and just as outrageously entertaining, the picture stands as a successful outsider's tribute to a failed kindred spirit.
