Edward Scissorhands (1990)

Snip, snip.

Presentation:

A charming Frankenstein-esque tale of a man having scissors for hands. Johnny Depp is endearingly colorful despite being mute as a result of his attire which has stark contrast with the suburban environment. Itโ€™s very quirky and whimsical like all Tim Burton films but this one stands out as one of his signature creations. A family friendly modern-ish fairy tale indicative of the 90s, this story stands out despite its formulaic story for its humor and memorable cast.

Conclusion:

As long as youโ€™re not expecting serious filmmaking or storytelling, this can be a lighthearted experience if you let it. Oddly memorable for its characters and you might fall in love more than youโ€™d expect. For outcasts, Tim Burton gives us another heartwarming experience for wallflowers to take refuge in.
