A Master piece of a new kind

Rating: 9/10 (29 October 2006)

Well. Certainly it is not a classical Hollywood movie. It is hard to see sometimes because of the violence but at the same time once you start watching it you can't stop until the end. Mixing crude reality with a baroque fantasy you are witness of the last battles of the Spanish Civil War at the time you see the end of a "Never-ending story" kind of world. Ofelia is a 13 years old girl that is leaving her childhood and experimenting her last opportunity before the doors of the realm of fantasy will be closed forever but before that happens Ofelia must pass some tests like get a key and steal a dagger to discover a forgotten world. In between, a war is developing. If you are faint of heart, don't see it no matter how much you like fantasy.
See the movie, you won't see another film like this soon in the theater.
