A good movie

 At last, after so many years of making some adaptations and remakes,  Tim Burton was finally releasing something slightly more original and it wasn't starring either Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham Carter which can’t have been a coincidence. So, there was a decent buzz before its release but it didn’t make much waves when it was released after all. Still, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, eventually, I thought it was a decent watch but not much more than that, I'm afraid. The main issue, I guess, is that it was a fairly entertaining story but it was nothing really amazing. I mean, it must have worked fine on paper, for a short story in the newspaper, but it was just not enough to fill up more than 100 minutes of running time. Eventually, I don't think you really get to know the characters after all and the whole thing was just too focused on telling us the facts. At least,  Christoph Waltz and Amy Adams did what they could with this material and they managed to deliver some solid performances but all the supporting characters going from the daughter, the best friend, the competing gallery owner, the art critic or the reporter showing up at random were all barely developed. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still not bad and I think it is worth a look, but it was still nothing really amazing coming from Burton.
