Dan O'Neill90 - Ed Wood not only celebrates the life of the “worst director of all-time”, but also embraces the fact that he was one of the more important ones of our life time, with great performances from the cast, especially Landau, and a great script, or laughter, tragedy, and film-making.

Bryan Lienesch46 - Feels like Tim Burton doing a Wes Anderson impersonation doing a 50's era film expose.
