Beetlejuice

…en rakt igenom underhållande, fartfylld och ljuvligt avvikande film.

…en underhållande och annorlunda film, i typisk Burton-anda.

At the time, it seemed like a one-off oddity; now it seems like a Burton blueprint: surreal sensibility (check), nutty energy (check) and an acute feel for the pangs of the outsider (check).

The movie is crammed with visual invention and snappy comedy. The afterlife is richly imagined as a macabre bureaucracy.

The movie is bathed in a foolish charm.
