Guillermo Del Toro Meets Alice in Wonderland

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2017)

Pan's Labyrinth is a magical, twisted fantasy tale by Guillermo Del Toro. Del Toro's imagination for the film is almost one of Alice in Wonderland. There are many similarities between the two movies, but also many differences. The movie is dark and twisted but tells a great story about a young girl struggling during the Francoist period. There are many twists in the movie and the creatures that Del Toro brings to life are incredibly creepy. The ending is very open-ended in terms of what could be real and what could be fake, which is why this movie really shines. There is evidence that supports both of the endings and that makes this movie truly magical. Please do not let reading subtitles stop you from seeing this movie. You will truly be missing out on something magical.
