CGiii Comment

Burton makes Wood so utterly likeable and Depp excels...adorable.

Does Ed Wood deserve a film about his painfully untalented endeavours? Yes and no.

His bizarre friendship with Bela Lugosi is the crux...without that friendship there would have been no story.

Landau plays Lugosi with a fragile relish - he received a well-deserved Oscar for his performance.

It is a fine vision of talentlessness, loyalty and tenacity - done and played to perfection.

Touching and sincere.
