Exhilarating and enchanting... I'd say Del Toro's finest piece of art.

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2018)

This fantasy drama tale by the always inventive Guillermo del Toro is an absolute joy to experience. The performances, screenplay, direction, cinematography and production design are all, simply, phenomenal. It also boasts a beautifully transportive original score composed by Alexandre Desplat that perfectly captures the magic and spirit of this beautiful story. One needn't look too hard to see that this was Del Toro's passion project; and it shows in every frame.
Experience this in a theatre and let it carry you away into its fascinating world for 2 hours. If you truly give yourself to it, you may just find yourself sitting there, smiling with that rare feeling of warmth a movie can elicit. This film is the shape of dreams...
