Sleepy Hollow (1999) short review

Kendra April 29, 1999
Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Already a classic — Tim Burton’s retelling with Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane Girl Detective (Depp’s words, not mine!) and Christina Ricci as Katrina von Tassel.  Great story, great acting, a bit over-the-top ending but hey what are you gonna do.  The costuming is gorgeous if very Hollywood-ized and goth-ized — they got the silhouettes and cut of the gowns right, but the fabric choices and aesthetics are very modern and goth-y (appropriately so).  I LOVE Ricci’s black and white striped dress (you’re surprised, aren’t you?).
