How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A delightfully macabre romp through the afterlife that balances gothic humor with genuine emotional weight about generational bonds and loss. It's a chaotic, visually inventive joyride that treats death and family dysfunction with equal parts irreverence and tenderness.

It feels silly to even type something like "Catherine O'Hara steals every scene and is amazing and iconic" because DUH. Truly though, every moment she is on the screen is a gift.

And for everyone who is like waaah it's not as good as the original, of course it's not. It was never going to be. It's as good as I needed it to be though.

Tim Burton’s long-awaited sequel brings together faces old and new, along with his signature style of directing that includes stop-motion scenes, just like the original’s charm. Winona Ryder brings classic Winona, reminding us once again why we have loved her work for so many years, and Michael Keaton brings the laughs, but new addition Jenna Ortega is forgettable and just there for the ride.

While it was nice to get another <i>Beetlejuice</i> film, I think saying his name one more time is more than enough.
