johnDec 13, 202098 A life-affirming, empathetic work. This is as good as it gets in terms of Tim Burton, but it's also one of the greatest films of the 1990s, so it's no small feat. Watching it, all I could do is marvel at the glorious monochrome imagery, towering performances, and…
SilentDawnJun 26, 2025Didn't know Burton had this kind of movie in him. Really excellent but I was distracted by the fact that Sarah Jessica Parker simply does not have 1950s face

"No, it's fine. It's real. You know, in actuality, Lobo would have to struggle with that problem every day."
matt lynchJun 8, 2014“Filmmaking is not about the tiny details. It’s about the big picture.” This movie gets the details and the big picture right. And the dialogue is so wonderful, from the resonant power of the scene with Orson Welles about artistic independence (“Visions are worth…

"This is the one. This is the one I'll be remembered for."
Matt PetrocelliOct 2, 2023Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi is one of the greatest things to have ever happened in cinema.
Felipe F.Feb 27, 2023It's interesting that so many of Ed Wood's friends and associates were so adamant in interviews that even though "Eddie" was an out and proud cross-dresser who had a name for his drag persona ("Shirley"), and even though he hung out with a lot of well-known closet-dwellers…

Had to watch for a film class, aint half bad if you dont go in expecting huge action and suspense.
Dyl lovedEd Wood"Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?" I’m torn on this one, as Ed Wood has proven to me that if you want to get into directing you can, just never give up on it, because if Ed Wood can get a following you sure as hell can. My main problem with Ed Wood…
Sharlot likedEd WoodThis is exactly the sort of biopics I love. It skips right to the interesting parts that are unique to the celebrity; it doesn’t center on a specific segment of their life that no one cares about (like Maestro and the relationship between Berstein and his wife), it stays on track

7.2/10 This has got to be one of the most particularly interesting biopics I have seen up to date. Burton’s style brilliant shows the wonder that comes behind Wood’s imagination. Depp’s performance magnificently shows a career that would come to inevitable downfall. 06-10-23
Ingrid Gonzalez is "meh" onEd WoodI wanted to like it more, I really did. It had all the campy elements I usually love…but I was checked out for most of it. Martin Landau was a stunning Bela Lugosi. He played Bela with so much care and empathy.
CvptvinHowdy lovedEd WoodI knew this was going to be good from the opening credits. I'm a fan of the old monster movies, and I love what Tim Burton did in this biopic of Ed Wood. The whole cast's performances were amazing as well.
- Justin lovedEd Wood
I really enjoyed this and it’s one of Tim Burton’s best. I loved how the story connected with the real events, it was really cool.
Dom Hess likedEd WoodGreat movie. I like the way it was filmed. The story of Ed Wood is a little depressing and this plays on that quite well
Orlando Ramone lovedEd WoodThis is my favorite Tim Burton movie! Such amazingly interesting and funny characters and best of all, it’s all true!!!

This Ed Wood is dead wood.
Richard Corliss
Time
If Ed Wood has a major failing, it's the lack of momentum. Wood's career had nowhere to go, and to some extent the film has the same problem.
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
A comedy of the ridiculous in which the ridiculous turns unexpectedly sublime.
