Great Movie

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2009)

a great film that's fantasy is a grim and twisted journey which the young girl must follow to gain her mortality and her maturity. This reminded me of a darker and more elaborate tale of "The Chronicals of Narnia" as the plot follows the trials and adventures of a child and like both movies both environments are places that only a child seems to be able to navigate through because of their imagination and perceptions that adults don't have when they get older.
a long movie but once you start following it , you are hooked... The costume designs and fantasy environment is unreal and the settings of the 1944 post cilvil war spain is spot on as well
