Lo más interesante de esta película es el propio Wood, no su vida (que en términos burgueses podría considerarse un fracaso) sino su permanente optimismo y convicción de valía profesional.

A gentle valentine that celebrates the creative spirit, no matter how misguided that particular spirit happens to be.

Depp's magnificent performance, plus Burton's love of his subject make for a wonderful film. Landau is magnificent as Bela Lugosi. A great film that celebrates the little filmmakers who dreamed big.

Landau's Lugosi is an alternately amusing and heartbreaking character who is given one last taste of life while in orbit around Wood's infectious mania

True or not, the film is brilliant in every capacity %u2013 rich, warm and outrageously funny.
