Reviews
- "Tim Burton's lone outstanding, heartfelt film of the last two decades may not seem like a natural fit with his horror-tinged oeuvre. But in some ways it's his most intimate, personal movie."
- The Film Yap - "When it catches fire, this great-looking movie offers hilarious diversions. And as father and son struggle toward a hard-won reconciliation, BIG FISH reveals its beating heart."
- Newsweek - "As we grow older, we understand that these little white lies, this expansion of the truth, tells just as much about our parents as the actual non fiction-aided history does."
- Sara Michelle Fetters - "A tale that's so enriching, so heartwarming, so funny, so touching and so breathtaking, you'll wonder why the king of wackiness didn't branch out sooner."
- Film Threat - "Director Tim Burton finally hooks the one that got away: a script that challenges and deepens his visionary talent."
