Sweeney Todd is a strange little film: a funereal musical in which our protagonist is a slicer and dicer, and we're not sure whom it is we're rooting for: Do we love Johnny Depp's Sweeney, despite his less-than-justice-seeking ways? Do we feel for the poor people Mr. Todd kills? Do we love Helena Bonham Carter's Mrs. Lovett, who seems to want nothing more than to help Sweeney--and make her meat pies, of course? Or are the only good people in this tale the children, solidifying Sweeney's tenet that everyone deserves to die, "Even you. Even I"?

Those questions are best left up to each viewer. This is a Tim Burton film, after all. That means that, even though the color palette of the film is mostly black and white, very little else is.
