Feels like one from the heart from Burton, playing out as it does - and in relatively straight up fashion - its themes of artistic self-expression and value. Doesn't quite settle into a satisfying tonal shape at any point, and also features both an oddly inwardly-directed performance from Amy Adams (who has been basically captivating in all the other things I've seen her in) and an overly mannered - to the point of caricature - performance from the usually excellent Christoph Waltz (Krysten Ritter is a welcome dash of energy whenever she appears), but still and all, okay.
