Big Eyes

Adams' Margaret is yielding at first but gradually, her righteous indignation takes over. Waltz plays the consummate scoundrel, a wolf in sheep's clothing, with ease. The film is largely compelling and touches upon many aspects about the dynamics of a couple's love, along with the lengths and limits of tolerance one can have for the other.

"Big Eyes" is a fascinating tale simply told with good performances and without much complications.

Big Eyes gets you right in the soul. It is a remarkable story that shocked the whole world, and not just the world of art. You are shown a world before instant fame. It talks about the price of being famous. In the end, it shows us that good art is honest and true to the soul of the artist. Tim Burton makes us believe in the Big Eyes.

Keeping in sync with the name, Big Eyes is a visually dependent film, not only for the paintings, but for the period of the 50's and 60's. From the cotton candy coloured world of the free-spirited era to the clothing (especially the women), the entire feel of the era just rivets you into the film.

The real disappointment of Big Eyes is Burton himself, and that's reason enough for many of us to look as miserable as the waifs that Margaret painted....The real disappointment of Big Eyes is Burton himself, and that's reason enough for many of us to look as miserable as the waifs that Margaret painted.

Margaret is tailor made for Amy Adams. She brings alive the complicated character who takes a long time to see through the manipulative nature of her husband. It is a kind of performance that juries of film awards love to reward.
