I just came home from a midnight showing of the new Tim Burton film Sweeney Todd and I'm still reeling from the power of it (I can't fall asleep yet!). The black humor coupled with strong Sondheim songs and shadowed shots made for an excellent film. Depp is phenomenal--not that I was expecting less, but the emotion of the role really pulled through. The rest of the cast was equally superb (I now want to try to pull off a Mrs. Lovett hairdo!), and Alan Rickman is divinely creepy. The cinematography is worth price of admission alone, as there is so much to look and wonder at. The film is certainly Oscar-worthy, though I'm not holding my breath for any nominations from the mainstreamed Academy.
Has any one else seen the movie yet? Opinions, comments, criticisms?
