Edward Scissor Hands

Original review by Top 100 Christmas Movies · Independent & ad-free

1990 - PG-13 - 105 MINS - FANTASY

Top cast: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder

In a nutshell

In this modern fairy tale, a scientist animates human being, but dies before he can finish assembling Edward, leaving the young man with a freakish appearance. The story of an outcast trying to fit in with suburban society.

Our review

Strange and moving at the same time and wonderfully acted. Highly memorable but sometimes art does not deliver a result for a Christmas movie, which qualifies with its holiday season scenes.
