The story itself is fascinating...Amy Adams' quiet meticulous performance as Margaret Keane is a beautiful and emotional piece of work.

Tim Burton’s return to real-life storytelling is entertaining but flawed. See it for a fascinating true story and a fantastic Amy Adams.

This is Burton’s most mainstream film to date, which isn’t to say it’s not an eccentrically entertaining ride.
