This biopic paints an illuminating picture of the life of cult horror filmmaker and pulp novelist Edward Davis Wood Jr., aka Ed Wood. I hate to disappoint you if you expected me to rank it higher, but the writing doesn't age well. For example, the first snippet of dialogue we hear is two women characters gossiping about trans World War II veteran Christine Jorgensen's genitals and making cheap transphobic jokes at Jorgensen's expense. I know the film's events occur in the '50s, but I'm forever giving writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski the side-eye for including that, considering it added nothing to the plot.
