Dark and beautiful at the same time, rich with mystery, aching with fantasy, yet punctured with reality in all its brutality. The people and creatures inhabiting the film leave haunting memories in our imagination filling us with dread at times and hope at others. Pan’s Labyrinth is a fairytale rich with the things that caused fairytales to live with us as kids and reminds us as adults of their silent grasp that still can make us catch our breath in fear and anticipation.
Beautifully directed with wonderous creations and horrifying truths brought to life by strong performances from all of the actors. Pan's labyrinth is the story of the loss of innocence, the forced coming of age, and surviving in a manner that is heroic and costly.
