How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly Gothic descent into vengeance wrapped in soaring theatrical music, a tale of wronged ambition that trades grace for gore. Tim Burton's operatic vision transforms a man's pursuit of justice into something monstrous and tragically beautiful.

Reviews
I'm not sure if it was the autumn breeze coming in the window next to me or being able to have captions on, but I liked this a lot more than when I saw it in theaters. Probably the captions.
I love the Harry Potter reunion, and the songs are surprisingly catchy. I'm not going to add them to my Spotify or anything; they're just buzzing around my head a bit.
