➱ STAFF REVIEW:
"Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" captures the whimsical charm and eccentric humor of the original while updating its aesthetic and story for a new generation. Directed by Tim Burton, the film is a vibrant spectacle filled with gothic visuals and offbeat humor. Michael Keaton returns in his iconic role, effortlessly slipping back into the chaotic and hilarious antics of Beetlejuice. Winona Ryder also shines as Lydia, now grappling with her own responsibilities as a mother while reconnecting with the supernatural chaos of her past. The film balances nostalgia with fresh energy, introducing a new ensemble of quirky characters while expanding the underworld's lore. The pacing is brisk, and the blend of practical effects and CGI maintains the unique, otherworldly charm of the original. A must-watch for fans of dark comedy and Burton's signature style.
