Rating: 9/10 (19 September 2015)

I should have seen this many years ago, it is a great movie.
This is a sad and maybe a bit disturbing story, in the real life anyway, but in this film all the bad things disappear and transforms into a fairytale, maybe not a all sweet and happy fairytale. This is more a very real, strong and vivid one, that also have tests, pain and suffering and something special at the end.
It is a dark movie, both in it's scenery and in the story, set during the Spanish civil war and in a fight between a captain, his army and the rebels, this can only bring dark tidings. Especially in the hands of Guillermo del Toro this becomes an experience, a fairytale and very entertaining from the beginning to end.
