Vincent

I don't want to label Vincent as Tim Burton's best film because I don't want to undervalue either of his magnum opuses, which for me are Edward Scissorhands and Big Fish. Nevertheless, I have no words for this brilliant short film. A bedtime story for anyone who enjoys multiple changes in moods and genres on just a few film frames. (05/25/2007)

The foreshadowing of Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride really isn't accidental here.

Even this first feature suggests that no other film by the filmmaker will be some kind of dime-a-dozen work. (03/20/2010)
