But not because of Burton's direction. It's a masterpiece because of the performances (Depp and Landau, particularly) and the writing. Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski wrote it. Sure, they wrote "Screwed" and "Problem Child", but they're responsible for two other masterpieces as well, "The People vs. Larry Flynt" and "Man On The Moon".
: : You can talk all you want about how Tim Burton has a great visual style, and I'd agree with you, but if he has any above-average skill as a director, he's never shown it.
: ED WOOD is a masterpiece on just about every level.
: He needs to get a sense of humor, though. It was pretty obvious that Kevin was joking re: a lawsuit.
