BAMF

I have to say I really was interested in this for Christoph Waltz and to see how this followed the Tim Burton style of film-making. The acting was pretty good and it had some pretty great one liners. The costume design and the sets had the look and feel of a Tim Burton film. The only weirdness that made it feel like something Tim Burton did was when she saw other people with big eyes. The ending k... read more

The few scenes with Tim Burton (TB) influence are very Burton-esque. But I felt it still lacked somehow in TB influence, it could have been much more, yet it was slightly dull without more TB. Nonetheless quite an entertaining, funny, enjoyable film with the ideal cast.

An excellent film, compact storytelling with an appropriate dose of Burton-esqe flair (Amy Adams starts to see those big eyes in her mind) which supports and does not detract from the story or character. Add in colorful shots of San Francisco and landscape and you've got a true art film which also has the fascinating angle of being based on a true story!

Big Eyes, is a biopic of artist Margaret Keane, the painter whose distinctive creations featuring big-eyed children became one of art's first mass-market success stories in the 1950s. The drama covers Keane's personal awakening at the onset of the feminist movement, leading to a lawsuit she filed against her husband, Walter, who claimed credit for her works. He lived the high life while she toiled in relative anonymity in the Bay Area.

“Aunque definitivamente no es de las mejores obras de Burton debo decir que supera con creces la calidad de otros trabajos que prostituyen el estilo de este director (Dark Shadows). La ambientación oscura alemana que solía ser tan característica en el cine de Tim Burton aquí no hace acto de presencia y eso aunque se extraña, también se entiende, es una historia basada en hechos reales y ciertamente no quedaba bien con la estética tan particular a la que en algún momento estubimos acostumbrados.

A pesar de no contar con un estilo visual tan marcado, el estilo de Burton se hace presente en la melancolía de los personajes que puede llegar a ser incluso deprimente. Debo decir que la película ciertamente correrlo riesgo de volverse un poco aburrida para las personas más ené” read more
