Still not sure

Rating: 6/10 (13 November 2015)

There was a great hype about this movie, so I rushed to the cinema to see it. I was not sure what to think the first time, and now that I saw it for the second time, I'm still not sure. Or I did not get the symbolism right, or It's just not good for me. A girl Ofelia lives in Franco's Spain during WW2. She lives with her stepfather, sadistic and violent Captain Vidal who has a task of clearing the area of the remaining left things forces. Running from one monstrosity Ofelia doesn't find a dreamy world she can rest in, she founds another deeply disturbing place. The costumes are fabulous, and you can see the authors really gave their best.
