A few of the tales are a bit of a stretch, but the scope of the Pan's Labyrinth universe comes out feeling much larger than ever before.

Those who seek fizzier, stomach-calming seltzer at the movies are advised to look elsewhere. Others, like me, will surrender gratefully to the black and bloody enchantment.

The script is undoubtedly better than the movie. Majestic production design in what remains as one of the fantasy classics. Del Toro's eternal beginnings. [Full review in Spanish]

It's rare to see a production of such breathtaking magnitude, with an absolutely singular vision and spellbinding fantasy components.

To date Guillermo Del Toro's most provocative accomplishment, Pan's Labyrinth is a beautifully realized but brutal fairy tale.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 30, 2020
PAN'S LABYRINTH harks back to a time when fairytales were dark and filled with life lessons prior to the tales being taken up by Disney's more family-friendly hands.
| Original Score: 9.5/10 | Jun 22, 2020
His (Toro's) incredible visual style, uncanny CGI world, and gift for a particular style of storytelling knock this out of the park.

This is a wildly creative film that plays on your heart and your head, stunning in its rich imagery and ambitious in its themes.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 1, 2018
The film is one of those rare beasts, with a sense of genuine permanency. It beds down in your mind, like it is preparing to live there for a while. It is not pretty, but it is, sometimes, very beautiful.

...all the shivering intensity and satisfying denouement of the darkest Grimm's fairy tale.
