Big Eyes

Simple yet gripping throughout. Tim Burton ditches his insistence on his unique artistic style for a more conventional style of film and the end result is a visually bright and stunning flick. The most important aspect of Big Eyes is still its unbelievable yet true storyline. Perhaps something like this that has to do with art would merit a deeper film that looks more into the psyche of the artists and morality in the art world, instead of a simple biopic, but for me this works and tells a great story effectively. Amy Adams is the star of the film for me, I've never been a fan of her style, but Big Eyes changes this for me. Great job at portraying Margaret Keane, both her helplessness and inner strength shone through.
