Story Image

A well-made screen version of the Sondheim classic

Friday May 16,2008

Comment Speech Bubble Have your say(0)

An Oscar-nominated Johnny Depp gives another great performance as the vengeance-seeking barber in Tim Burton’s graphic, ghoulish adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s Seventies’ Broadway musical.

More like a Hammer horror than a traditional knees-up, it is extremely well made, with Burton creating a film that is both menacing and touching.

Helena Bonham Carter impresses with a poignant turn as a lovelorn pie maker.

OUR VERDICT: 4/5
Cert 18, Warner Home Video
DVD: rental and retail
