Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
DoP Bruno Delbonell buffs Burton's kitsch pop visuals to a soft sheen, but, like the script, they never dig deep enough into the emotional heart of this fascinating real-life story.

One Room With A View
A horror movie tucked inside a domestic drama wrapped up in a biopic, Tim Burton’s BIG EYES tells the story of Margaret Keane, an artist whose characteristic style is summed up in the title.
New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
It's a likeable recapitulation of 1950s era America and the strange mutations that occur involving those humans attempting to buck the wrongly conditioned trappings of gender based social mores.

Adams is as watchable as ever as Margaret, backed by fine support...
Total Film
The story itself is fascinating...and Amy Adams' quiet meticulous performance as Margaret Keane is a beautiful and emotional piece of work.
RogerEbert.com
[A] richly entertaining screenplay brimming with sharp dialogue and memorable characters....Director Tim Burton takes a kitschy slice of 20th century pop culture and turns it into a special film.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 6.5/10 --
It's a smooth, dreamy-looking film on the surface, but its two leads, Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz, are so out of sync and polarized they spoil the movie like acid curdles milk.

Way Too Indie
Product Description:
The true story of painter Margaret Keane's life in obscurity while her husband gleaned the notoriety for being the face of her work is brought to the screen by Tim Burton and his ED WOOD screenwriters, Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. The story opens in the late 1950s, when Margaret Keane (Amy Adams) packs up the car with her daughter and their personal belongings, and leaves her husband to start a new life in San Francisco. There, Margaret quickly reconnects with her old friend DeeAnn (Krysten Ritter), and falls head over heels for Walter (Christoph Waltz), an artist and part-time real-estate broker who soon shows great interest in her unique paintings of small children with strikingly expressive, saucer-like eyes. Before long, the two are married, and Walter is claiming credit for Margaret's increasingly popular paintings. With the money rolling in, Margaret initially agrees to go along with the ruse, but the closer she gets to her new husband the more she begins to realize that he's little more than a smooth-talking scam artist. Later, riddled with guild over the fact that she's been deceiving her own daughter as her paintings become a pop-culture phenomenon, Margaret leaves the increasingly abusive Walter, and moves to Hawaii. Only then does Margaret gain the confidence to reclaim the works that have been credited to her husband, even when doing so entails going before the judge and proving that she and she alone created the enchanting children with the big eyes. Danny Huston, Terence Stamp, and Jason Schwartzman co-star.
