Big Fish: Review

Tim Burton's 2003 yarn is a deft blend of fantastic noodling and astute psychological drama. William Bloom (Billy Crudup) grew up in the shadow of his charismatic father's (Albert Finney) elaborate whoppers — stories of witches, Siamese-twin singers, misunderstood giants, circus escapades and a rustic Shangri-La buried deep in some spooky woods just off a lost highway.
