It was interesting to revisit this film 25 years after I first watched it. Overall, I don’t think the narrative held up, though I think Edward Scissorhands is such an iconic character, that this movie can skate by even without a solid plot. Diane Wiest remains my favorite “mom” from 1980s films.*
Cost: free from library
Where watched: at home
*see: Footloose, Parenthood, this movie. Also don’t forget her overwrought actress in Bullets Over Broadway. “Don’t speak!”
