Laberinto del Fauno

ah.
the beauty. i did indeed see Pan's Labyrinth last wednesday. However, I have purposely delayed writing my review until now. I knew it was a fantastic movie, and wasn't completely in-your-face, so I needed some time to dwell. It's hard to not like 6 oscar nominations taint your review also, and I think I did that.
It's just a cool, smart, symbolic movie. I really didn't expect the facist war stuff to come into play that much, and I did think it would be more of a fantasy movie. I wasn't disappointed. I was quite pleased at the parallels in the movie, and the sheer hotness. After some thought, it was everything I wanted.

Pan's Labyrinth - 4.5/5
