When an Avon lady adopts a half-finished artificial man with scissors for hands (Johnny Depp), he’s first embraced and then rejected by her pastel community, all while falling for her daughter, Kim (Winona Ryder).
A 1990s fairytale exploring themes of conformity and rejection filtered through the outlandish imagination of director Tim Burton.
‘Strange, funny and powerfully moving; Burton has found a way to move through camp to emotional authenticity.’ – Chicago Tribune
