Critic Reviews

Half-factual, half-fanciful and all funny, this labor of love is also unexpectedly touching. [28 September 1994, Life, p.5D]Full Review

Mike Clark
USA Today

A comedy of the ridiculous in which the ridiculous turns unexpectedly sublime.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

What Burton has made is a film which celebrates Wood more than it mocks him, and which celebrates, too, the zany spirit of 1950s exploitation films - in which a great title, a has-been star and a lurid ad campaign were enough to get bookings for some of the oddest films ever made.Full Review

Chicago Sun-Times

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.Full Review
