More fleeting than Fleet Street

Movie review of "Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street".
Published on facebook.com, 28th January 2008.

Typical Burton in tone and gloom, though with all that pantomime it's surprising between them that Depp and Bonham-Carter couldn't seem to make it black comedy so much as, well, just black really. Good if you know and love the songs (and can live without the narration from the stage version), and worth a visit if you're a Burton fan.

Otherwise, one to wait for on DVD and see what the bonus extras are like.
