Movie review

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2019)

Set during the Spanish Civil War, Guillermo Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth is a wonderful, dark fairy tale. It is a metaphor for Spain itself, teeters on the edge of nightmare dreamscapes of corruption, violence and the death of innocents.
This film is a fairy tail and is also has a couple of violence that wouldn't be good for a young viewer. Although the fantasy sequences are gorgeously realized, and are fairy tales in the truest sense, most of the story is based outside of the dreamland.
