Fantasy

Rating: 9/10 (24 September 2007)

I seldom watch films with subtitles it's too much hard work, but so many people had told me to watch this film, that I relinquish and I am so pleased that I did. The acting is superb, the cast all put in great performances which are enhanced by the beautiful animation. The story is so beautifully told that you are swept along from the opening titles to the end credits effortlessly. The story is told so well, you feel like you are there. It's the best fantasy movie I can ever remember watching. Ivana Baquero who plays the lead Ofelia is an actress to look out for in the future; I predict she will be a huge star. If you only watch one foreign language film ever  make sure it's this one.
