Big Fish | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Tim Burton's lone outstanding, heartfelt film of the last two decades may not seem like a natural fit with his horror-tinged oeuvre. But in some ways it's his most intimate, personal movie.

The sentiment behind the plot is sweet and endearing and the movie is an excellent example of Burton, the master filmmaker, at work.

This is a film with heart. From beginning to end. A heartwarming tale about love and family, a father and a son, and that sometimes it's very hard to separate fact from fiction....but then sometimes, it doesn't really matter; does it.

[Director Tim Burton] manages to balance his whimsy and his visual aesthetics in ways that aren't overwhelming to the story and... are pleasing to me.
