A Great Español Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2017)

The fairy tale offsets the barbaric reality. Wonderful, dark, chaotic, moving, a shocking allegorical tale! That film may begins as a fairy tale but it quickly turns into a terrifying story, the stepfather is shown to be psychopathic, a rushed, and every passing minute the story darkens so much that you start and stress yourself how the end's gonna be. In general, and especially in the end, there is an emotional load as we see how a fake world of a child is created so that it can cope with the horrific conditions of a war and in generally also. Emotion, anxiety, sometimes fear, mystery, offering, sacrifice, love.
Impeccable at all the levels. Music, photography, effects, makeup, scenery, interpretations. All with the directorial stamp of my beloved Guillermo Del Toro.
