If the performances were as cute and sweet as the characters, the film would need a warning label. But Depp's Sam is delicately touching, a maladjusted waif with both soul and grit, and Masterson resists the temptation to soften Joon.
Things are kept on the right side of mawkish thanks largely to a graceful and understated performance from the ever-reliable Depp.
As the outsider who courts the mentally ill Mary Stuart Masterson, Johnny Depp renders a startling performance that elevates the romantic fable way above its writing and directing shortcomings; look for the young Julianne Moore in a small part.
Top CriticIt's acted out in the secondary emotional register of the glass menagerie: whimsical, delicate, idiosyncratic, barmy.

Great early Depp performance and Masterson is equally terrific

One of my favorite romances. Quirky and magical.
The stars make it palatable, but it's too much contrived cuteness.
3.5
Mr. Depp may look nothing like Buster Keaton, but there are times when he genuinely seems to become the Great Stone Face, bringing Keaton's mannerisms sweetly and magically to life.
Top CriticJohnny Depp is superb, but the rest of the movie doesn't hold water.
Depp's portrayal of a Buster Keaton-ish type character is mesmerizing.
