I feeeeeeeeeeel you, Joanna

Sweeney Todd. Loved it.

Wasn't exactly what I expected, but still quite good. It was songier than I thought it would be. I suppose its genesis as an opera should have clued me in that there wouldn't be much dialogue. The vocals were all much better than I anticipated. And in typical Burton style, the darkness didn't preclude a grim humor of which I am singly fond.

So, though I would not recommend it unstintingly as I have some other films recently, I do think its worthwhile.
