in Pan's Labyrinth, the world of Ofelia's imagination and the realities of Falangist Spain are two different, ideologically opposed ways of telling the same story - a story of tyranny, resistance and the timeless struggle between good and evil.
Top Critic The dual story threads merge seamlessly in del Toro's elegant style.
Dark, twisted and beautiful, this entwines fairy-tale fantasy with war-movie horror to startling effect.
Top Critic Dark, dreamlike and dangerous, Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth is a fairytale every bit as scary and moving as they were always meant to be.
Top Critic Superbly acted and beautifully directed, this is a bewitching tale that will stay with you long after you leave the cinema. One of the best films of the year.
Stunningly beautiful and movingly honest, this is one of best films of the year and another notch on the belt of one of the today's most exciting filmmakers.
A disjunction remains between the story’s childlike form and its gruesome execution, but few directors are so adept at conveying both the uncanny in the real and the recognisable in the fantastic.
Top Critic We feel pity, terror, disgust, wonder, astonishment, shock, and, ultimately, hope. It does everything we could ask ....
I saw better films in 2006 -- but none more imaginative than Guillermo del Toro's communal masterpiece. Bring a friend, and you'll have plenty to talk about.
"Pan's Labyrinth" is impeccable filmmaking; it alone might be enough to seal del Toro's reputation as a master of cinema.
... An exquisite picture with equal doses of the fantastic and horrific.
It is excellently made, and I am very glad I saw it, but I could never see it again, no matter how cool the faun was.
A fantasy for adults that will make you feel both the intense wonder and fear of childhood more than any film in years.
Del Toro parallels the horror of two civilizations (one real, one imagined, each with their own monsters), crafting a rich and violent film for grownups who haven't lost touch with their childhood resources.
Películas como El Laberinto del Fauno me llenan de expectativa y entusiasmo.
Guillermo del Toro's excellent new film, "Pan's Labyrinth," is a violent, enthralling children's movie made for adults.
