Burton is “one of those rare directors whose works are so completely their own that they’re recognizable in a single glance or line of dialogue. If the story is rooted in the desires and fears children must suppress on the way to something called adulthood, if the settings are extravagantly bedecked and the camera angles vertiginous, if the lighting is unpredictable and the acting a skillful mix of delicate motivations and jangling emotional fireworks … well, then you can only be in Tim Burton’s cinematic world.”

—Christopher Lee
