Ed Wood Ratings & Reviews
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Harper Barnes
The sweet center of the movie is Wood's resurrection of horror actor Bela Lugosi, a despairing drug addict who is played brilliantly by Martin Landau.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
What happens when a good filmmaker tries to make a great film about a terrible filmmaker. In the case of Tim Burton's Ed Wood, you get an odd and oddly unsatisfying film with occasional flourishes of brilliance.
Fresno Bee
John Scalzi
It's pathetic, but Burton does a good job of keeping it entertaining. You might not want to be any of these people, but you don't mind watching.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Jack Garner
The film is not only a hilarious satire of Wood and his low-budget antics, but also a loving paean to dreamers everywhere.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Tim Burton's best movie, this unique gem is a gentle valentine that celebrates the creative spirit, no matter how misguided that particular spirit happens to be.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Ed Wood doesn't really give us the inside of Wood's head, but it does treat imaginatively a number of Wood movies that retain a certain fascination ...
The Virginian-Pilot
Mal Vincent
One of the most hilarious and poignant movies of the year. A real surprise.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Ed Wood [is] a comedy of the ridiculous in which the ridiculous turns unexpectedly sublime.
Film Comment Magazine
Robert Horton
Just daft enough and just deft enough to satisfy high-culture and low-culture aficionados alike.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Beguiling rather than thrilling, oddly charming instead of transporting, meaning that Disney will have its work cut out for it with what is at heart a cult movie and a film buff's dream.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Mr. Depp isn't best known as a comic actor, but he gives a witty and captivating performance, bringing wonderful buoyancy to this crazy role.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Outrageously disjointed and just as outrageously entertaining, the picture stands as a successful outsider's tribute to a failed kindred spirit.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
This Ed Wood is dead wood.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Burton has evoked the surface of Ed Wood's life, but in a story about a man who loves angora and frilly panties, he has barely unbuttoned Wood's uniform.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
Making a movie about the life of Ed Wood certainly qualifies as an impossible dream, but Burton has pulled it off with wit, imagination and something amazingly close to grace.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
An entertaining, oddly affectionate look at the cross-dressing grade-Z moviemaker.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie's black and white photography convincingly recaptures the look and feel of 1950s sleaze, including some of the least convincing special effects in movie history.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The strangest biographical film ever made is also one of the most charming, melancholy and quirkily humorous films of the year.
Film.com
Lucy Mohl
[An] oddly affectionate bio-pic.
Film.com
John Hartl
In his finest, funniest, most poignant film to date, Tim Burton plays cinematic alchemist, turning drive-in schlock into movie gold.
