Critic Reviews

Has enough tasty bait to satisfy an array of moviegoers: Burton fans, Albert Finney fans, fans of tall tales well spun by experts and fans of movies that don't look like any other.Full Review

Mike Clark
USA Today

Director Tim Burton finally hooks the one that got away: a script that challenges and deepens his visionary talent.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

The movie is a gently overstuffed cinematic piñata, crammed with tall tales -- with giants and circuses and fairy-tale woods, plus a huge squirmy catfish, all served up with a literal matter-of-fact fancy that is very pleasing.Full Review

There's delight to be had from watching Burton conjure up one fantastical Edward-inspired scenario after another.Full Review

Manohla Dargis
Los Angeles Times

Big Fish of course is a great-looking film, with a fantastical visual style that could be called Felliniesque if Burton had not by now earned the right to the adjective Burtonesque.Full Review
