A fantasy with brutal reality

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2016)

Pan's Labyrinth is one of those movies that carries a message through its visuals and even tells a story with few words. Many of the images resemble fear, greed, happiness, and despair. No one is safe when you go astray from the path you were meant to be on. I absolutely loved the direction in this flick. Every shot seemed to be tight, focused, and captured the mood the scene is creating. Obviously the visuals is what makes this movie so amazing and it deserves that merit. the use of makeup and real set pieces rather than the CGI saturated world we live in now is why I will always love this movie. If people can get past reading subtitles throughout and enjoy what this movie brings to the table, then I absolutely recommend this movie to be watched by everyone before they die.
