Most perfect dark fairy tale- Magical!

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2009)

Completely loved it! Its one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. An anti-fairy-tale with a darkness that is gripping and its beautiful at the same time. As a kid, I was a bookwork, so I could totally relate to Olivia, the protagonist of the story. She lives in her own world, is brave and the hero of her world and outside. The cinematography and art direction is out of the world, literally. I could not believe if I was not in one of my dreams at times. This movie is bound to come back to you in sleep. Everything was perfect, the bloodshed is realistic and completely made sense for the movie. Del Toro has achieved his purpose to the farthest extent. The attention to details and special affects are noteworthy. Its a movie that will stick in your mind for various reasons. Though kind of dark and sad, it will leave you completely awestruck and amazed. I will give it a perfect 10 on 10, as I cant give more.
