    I read the first part of an acquaintance's review before I saw the film and had to stop (yes, there be a few spoilers here). But I was thrilled that this extremely opinionated person was throwing out the superlatives left and right.

    This is an absolutely beautifully-executed, exquisitely dark and brooding adaptation of the Broadway musical. I'm afraid the gorgeous music and poignancy, power, and creativeness of Stephen Sondheim's lyrics will be lost on many viewers, who will titter, as a few young women did in the audience I sat with, and lose the story that is being told here.

    Tim Burton, bless...
