Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
In 1944 fascist Spain, a girl, fascinated with fairy-tales, is sent along with her pregnant mother to live with her new stepfather, a ruthless captain of the Spanish army. During the night, she meets a fairy who takes her to an old faun in the center of the labyrinth. He tells her she's a princess, but must prove her royalty by surviving three gruesome tasks. If she fails, she will never prove herself to be the the true princess and will never see her real father, the king, again. (imdb)

One of those films that caught me completely off guard. I can't even describe how I felt after watching it, it's just a beautiful piece of filmmaking. Del Toro's best film: a haunting, heartfelt, and at times unsettling fairy tale.

I love a good film about imagination and private fantasy worlds, and Pan's Labyrinth had me spellbound from beginning to end. Even though the template for the story is a fairy tale, the film has layers of complexity to it. The story is helped along immensely by wonderful art direction and special effects for the more fantastical elements, and perfect acting for the more earthbound parts. Fantastic stuff.

Excellent movie that is much darker than you might expect. One-half children's fantasy flick, one-half Spanish civil war movie, the two halves combine to make a film about the power of imagination, and the use of fantasy as a distraction from the horrors of real life. Sergi Lopez is chillingly brilliant, his Captain a fiercely intimidating force on par with cinema's great villains. The effects work is incredible, especially on the two Doug Jones characters. A rare treat from del Toro.

A wonderful gem of a film. Although it is marketed as a dark fairy-tale, it has layers of historical drama and war mixed in. Remember-able characters, stunning visual style; this is cinema at its near best.

Guillermo Del Toro's beautiful, yet emotionally brutal creation is one of awe and wonder. A young girl is forced into a harsh world with her new stepfather, a ruthless and sadistic Captain in the Spanish military. In order to escape the unkind place she now resides she finds solace in the pages of books and a fantasy world that has come alive. The bleak atmosphere and unique character designs of this world are unforgettable. The story is gripping. This is fantasy film at it's dark, daring best.

Brutal yet beautiful, this is the most twisted fairy tale I've ever witnessed. Exhilarating from start to finish, this movie never ceases to amazes with its scarily wonderful imagery. It is like nothing else and you get a real notion that this is something genuinely transcendent.

Wow. What an amazing film. I loved absolutely everything about this film. The atmosphere was incredible, the acting was superb, and the costumes were amazing! This movie was sad, yet scary, and also very intense. This film is complete magic. I doubt I will run into another film like this in the next decade or so. Pan's Labyrinth is truly something special. One of the best in the past little while.

One of my favourite films, and one I could quite happily watch over and over again. I love the fusion of terrifying fantasy and real-life brutality, and like the way del Toro doesn't go too far towards the fantasy elements. At its heart, it's not a film about fairies and fauns; it's a film about a scared little girl in an unimaginably horrific situation, and how she copes with it. It has great acting, great music, great visuals... I would be surprised if del Toro ever hits these heights again.

A fantasy in a cruel war movie. This is a extraordinary Spanish movie, in fact this is not for children. I must confess I have never seen such a movie, very hard war-scenes and beautiful, fantasy scenes all together, a big surprise for me. There was a really awesome fantasy scene : the horrible creature at the dining-table : incredible good.

I don't think I can do this movie justice with a short blurb, but it's so great on so many levels. The creativity alone is enough to make it a great film, but it's also incredibly smart. I've never seen anything like it.

Some of the most wonderfully imaginative and evocative fantasy sequences I've ever seen, and at the same time, one of the most brutally violent films; the way in which Del Toro manages to create such a dark fantasy world and combine it with a rebellion plot so convincingly and, at the end, seamlessly, is stunning.

A truly amazing film. It tells two perfectly woven stories, one of an innocent and naive girl embarking on a journey through a modern fairy tale, the other of war ravaged Spain. Beauty in hand with brutality, wonder in hand with terror, bliss in hand with tragedy. It's visuals are truly stunning, it's score sensational, with brilliant acting all around. Sergi Lopez is especially good here, delivering a fantastically frightening performance. You could ask nothing more of this wonderful film.

First time I ever made it through a total subtitle movie in one sitting. Twist near the end caught me off guard and won it some more points. I mean this is just a really good fantasy or fairy tale movie, and that is coming from someone that doesn't really watch many of them. The creative designs and costumes added to it. Plus on top of that it was actually a good story that was pretty easy to follow. Sometimes it is fun to really let your imagination take over. Muy bien!

Toro is such a unique filmmaker and literally all of his movies are made exactly how he wants to be made, and I think that’s why he’s one of the best talents working today. No one makes movies like he does. This is one of his very best. It’s violent, legitimately fantastical, and very original. You know you’re movie is good when the viewer likes the supporting characters and arcs, not just the main story and character. The visuals are amazing as hell. Do give this a watch if you haven’t yet.

One of the very best films of the decade. A terrifyingly beautiful saga that masterfully blends the fantasy world of this girl's mind with the harsh reality of the Spanish Civil War. This film is a triumph of imagination.

Perfectly constructed, moving, multilayered, tragic... this film jut screams masterpiece. It's ambiguous without being confusing, uses clear symbolism and visual storytelling and expresses its themes through its characters acts and hopes. And the art direction, cinematography, and music are all beautiful. One of my favorite films.

While I'm writing this review, the ending credits are still rolling, the wonderful music is still playing, and I feel like crying. At first, the combination of real life-horror and fantasy horror put me off. But after that great final part, my appreciation grows by the minute. This is not a film about two worlds, neither about one. For me, it is all about perception. How the horrors of the world show themselves to its inhabitants, and how, in all that misery, a spark of beauty can be found.

Any film where some poor sucker gets his face caved in with the end of a bottle in the first ten minutes has definitely got my attention. But seriously, this was an engaging and thoughtful story, told from harmoniously from several different perspectives, and had me mesmerised throughout. Thoroughly recommended.

Supremely intense, well acted, and brilliantly directed; Pan's Labyrinth is one of the best movies of the decade without a doubt. It's wonderfully twisted and imaginative fantasy with the brutal war backdrop makes for one of the most engaging and surreal experiences you'll have seen in a film. It's a true wonder to behold; Pan's Labyrinth is truly outstanding and should be seen by everybody. It's superb.

An original and visually imaginative masterpiece with a beautiful story about the stark contrast between the fairy tale world of a child (the endearing and talented Baquero) and the dismal reality of living with her fascist stepfather, played with gusto by López. If I could change one thing about it, it would be the character of Pan. But man, that white monster with the eye sockets in his palms... Suffice to say that I wouldn't want to go on a The Cell style mission in del Toro's mind!

I really really really LOVED this movie. The design, the setting, the story, the actors-- everything worked for me. Hell, I didn't even need the subtitles, and my Spanish is only adequate for watching soccer games on Univision with a little effort; that's how good this movie is, it completely transcends even language barriers and is enjoyable as is or under scrutiny. Which is exactly what I look for in a movie.

Great film. Some bits feel a bit like loose ends where there could be some slight explaination, not too much but a tad bit more, which would've really solidified the fantasy world in my mind. I love how the film is so open-ended that two drastically different conclusions can be drawn. Certainly not a kids fantasy film as certain parts are pretty damn violent.

Pan's Labyrinth is Alice in Wonderland for grown-ups, with the horrors of both reality and fantasy blended together into an extraordinary, spellbinding fable. Told through the eyes of a little girl whose imaginary world is inhabited by nightmarish creatures, Pan's Labyrinth is a visually imaginative and allegorical take on the fears she faced in Spain during WWII.

A very dark film encompassing everything that a young girl in the midst of war and mentally unstable military men can perceive. Despite my lack of interest in such things, I won't deny that the film did a fantastic job of what it intended. Pushing me to the edge of my seat and pulling my heart strings.

A fantastic Lovecraftian film with heart. Del Toro continues to show that he is an artist to watch and seeing that this film was almost completely neglected at the Oscars further discredits the Academy. An instant classic.

Pan's Labyrinth is a unique amalgam of the dark side of both Spanish history and fantasy. The special effects and suspenseful storytelling are superb. As much as I enjoy this movie, I find repeat showings difficult because of all of the emotions the viewer is subjected too. Also, everything CREAKS.

Superb. Full of aesthetic wonder and visual delight. Full of symbolism. Positions 2 stories next to each other and intertwines them. One about the stark and violent Spanish civil war. The other about a young girl and the childlike, fairytale world she enters. How can stories of such vivid contradiction work together in one film, you may ask. Watch it and find out. Mindblowing.

Refreshing fantasy film. I admired the element of the cold world sort of molding this dark nightmarish dreamland we explore through the troubled, young Ophelia. The role of the Captain was the most important element in this regard. Lopez is cruel as the appropriate "step" in this fairy tale. Some scenes were utterly disturbing. Very good. The pictures will definitely stay with you, similar to "The Shining", or "Eraserhead". Just strangeness in it's most deranged, unsuspecting, horrifying state.

Never have I seen the ideas of family struggles, fauns, eyeless monsters, and innocent imaginations combined...until now, obviously. Even though the entire movie is in subtitles, the genius of Mexican film-maker Guillermo Del Toro introduces a new way to experience fairy tales and, after straining your eyes and covering them occasionally, leaves you in awe. Squeamish and poor sited people, beware.

"El Laberinto del Fauno" is Guillermo del Toro's dark, complex and seductive fairytale that seamlessly blends two equally engrossing storylines and climaxes into a stunning and heart-breaking sequence. While del Toro borrows heavily from "Lord of the Rings" and similar sagas, he nevertheless creates a unique combination of reality and fantasy and crafts a picture that is as spooky, wickedly enjoyable and, ultimately, heartfelt as any film starring a faun you'll ever see.

Wow, not sure exactly what to think of this movie. The fantasy element is produced like a movie for children, but clearly this is a very serious film. I can't tell if GDT did intend this to be viewed by children, but it is rated R and is quite dark and violent. Possibly the darkest fairy tale I have come across on the screen. Ultimately, this is a visually beautiful depiction, a lucid exposition of the cruel, unfair nature of the world engulfing innocence, with a moral lesson or two to boot.

The only thing keeping this from getting a 100 was the subtitling.

I understand it'd take away from the movie should it be dubbed, but still. Other than that, my eyes and ears were glued to this movie from start to fin. I don't think I blinked once. =P

Although dark in subject matter, tone and lighting, this remains a magical movie. It feels to me to have a gritty existential feel to it, despite its exploration of magical realism. The military tension of just-post-Civil War Spain is well captured (also see El Espiritu de la Colmena). The acting of the central characters is good.

A haunting, beautiful unfaltering masterpiece of imaginative genius.

Horrible, beautiful, awful, fantastic film. I expected to see a cutesy fantasy film, so I was shocked. Both the story in the fantasy world and "the real world" are gripping and exciting. I had nightmares (!) about The Pale Man and couldn't stand people putting their hands up in front of their eyes for months. The real world villain is just as scary. Heart-breaking to see the magical childhood-fantasy-world shattered. I was moved and scared to tears - thumbs up!

An absolutely beautiful film. The type of story reminds me of the kind of fantasy films that Hollyweird was putting out in the 80's, but it also has a lot of the real Grimm fairy tales in it. They were harsh and pretty nasty, not the disneyfied version most people are familiar with.
The ending is a bit ambigous though. Don't expect what you think is going to happen. I nearly knocked a half star off for it but decided not too. Also in the last chunk there is quite a break from the fantasy el

Del Toro builds on the vision he had in "The Devil's Backbone" by creating a fairy tale within a violent reality. In this film, the cinematography captures a haunted Spain; a world that barely makes sense to Ofelia; a world defined by violence and masculinity; a world that has been stripped of its wonder. Del Toro's ability to create magical worlds works well here.

With 'Pan's Labyrinth', Del Toro uses his boundless imagination to paint one of modern cinema's finest deconstructions of the fairy tale genre. Combining the horrors of both fantasy and reality and weaving them into a story where the line between the two are often blurred, it's an understatement to call the picture a sublime piece of art.

Pan's Labyrinth is absolutely a film you should see. The visual effects are solid, the art direction is imaginative and captivating, while the soundtrack helps to bring out the best of the above average acting. It's essentially a film that appeals to the childish part of the adult brain, yet does it in a way that their mind can now handle. Pan's Labyrinth is something that you will have a difficult time turning away from, even after the incredibly moving final scene.

Overrated by the internet, but that's to be expected whenever fantasy is involved, especially when accompanied by graphic violence. It's a good movie, though: nicely shot, imaginative, somewhat touching. The captain is cartoonish, but the other characters are at least believeable (if not very compelling, save for Ofelia). I liked the parallels between the real and fantasy worlds, but the metaphor became labored. The film lost its way at a certain point, and should have stuck closer to Ofelia.

Very well done basic modern-type fairy tale. I wonder, though, who it appeals to. Too violent for kids, and too kiddie-ish for adults. Very visually appealing, and toes the line between reality and fantasy better than any fantasy/reality movie I can think of. I spent a lot of time wondering what we were left to figure out, but I think it just is what it is: a simple fairy tale, with basic good and evil people, and a pretty fun escape film. Devil's Backone, another del Toro film, is even better.

The galloping pace reached by the film's peak rewards even the most borable moviegoer for the two hours invested. On a scale of 1-10; Storyline: 8, Acting: 9 (Sergi López is disturbingly similar to Ralph Fiennes' Amon Goeth from Schindler's List. Sniping children off your back porch almost seems like a decent pastime after watching El Capitan in action.) Fantasy Element: 10 (Avoiding the snare of gluttonous special effects, the creatures shown are even more frightening and make-believable.)

Pan's Labyrinth is one of the greatest fairy tales ever told in film.

Ineffable, indelible, and profoundly literary; a Goyesque masterpiece. One of the best films I've ever seen, a rich text that merits considerable psychological, historical, artistic, and metaphysical reflection. I'm still trying to find expression to appreciate & interpret all I saw and heard. Just be aware that it's graphically violent, almost to the point of excess. Nevertheless, I was surprised to find myself accepting the profuse brutality as necessary for the story to assert its full power.

An amazing movie about a Labyrinth without getting Davie Bowie involved. This film was just stellar!

Some of the deaths almost make you turn away. That wine bottle to the face, ouch. The lead girl did a great job and the blending of Fairy Tale Fantasy mixed with a WWII drama is insanely good. If you haven't seen this yet, watch it!

Probably the best movie of 2006, and that year had a bunch of fantastic movies. I was over the moon after watching it for the first time, and after seeing it for the second time 5 years later I love it even more. I'm a bit of a weirdo, but I think that it's so strong and sweet and... good intentioned that it'd be appropriate to show to anybody old enough to pay attention to subtitles, despite the violence, language, and horror. How could this movie do harm? It's wonderful.

An amazing movie, great story, wonderful acting. I really admired how unflinching the director was; it's easy to imagine how a plot such as this could have been corrupted by a less skilled filmmaker. This is what fantasy should be. Also, this movie made me cry. I love it!

Beautifully crafted film; wonderful effects, superb imagination and great acting. To me this is a definitely NOT a fairy tale, it is a story of one girls own way of coping with the gruesome reality of war; to INVENT a fairy tale like "story" in order to remove her mentally and physically from the reality and horrors that surrounds her. However, thats just my interpretation, and the beauty of this film is that whilst it is a complete story, the interpretation is entirely up to the viewer.

Very rarely is a film so beautifully crafted. It left me thirsty for more of the fantasy world the main character enters, but I am transfixed by the machinations of her stepfather, Captain Vidal, the true monster in this film. I'll admit it scared me in places, and the fantasy creatures didn't take all the credit for it. Violence here is swift, sudden, and calculatingly brutal, and Vidal is a perfect representation of the evils of Spanish Fascism. No one blames the child for wanting to escape.

Pan's Labyrinth is perhaps somewhat overrated--it's not Del Toro's best work--and exploring the horrors of Franco era Spain via the medium of fairy tales is inherently problematic, but P.L is an imaginative tragi-gothic fantasy that certainly bests anything Burton has come up with in decades. Showcasing superior sets and creature designs, Del Toro orchestrates a number of tense and memorable sequences, especially in the Pale Man's lair and the final chase through the labyrinth.

BRILLIANT! AMAZING! Thank you God for sending us Del Toro! Works as both a fantasy and a war time drama. Visually incredible and completely gripping. We need more adult fantasies in this world. ...this is also one of the most graphically violent films I've seen, which is certainly a plus.

Ok so a kid escaping from the terrors of war by stumbling upon a fairytale world isn't the most imaginative idea ever but you haven't seen that story told quite like this. Del Toro juxtaposes the boundless hope and innocence of Ofelia with the horror and brutality of war (exemplified by Lopez's performance as one of the most evil bastards ever seen on screen) in a film that's as beautiful and moving as any you've seen. Warning though, some of the violence is not for the faint of heart.

The term "modern fairytale" is bandied around far too much. This film is truly worthy of the title. The mingling of the Spainish Civil war and folklore works well as both a contrast and as an allegory, although the civil war bits end up feeling slightly too unreal. The effects and art direction shine especially. In short, see it if you can.

Look, I won't deny the production values of this movie are good; it's worth watching. But it seems to me there is this trend where a movie is ranked so high just because it has strange bits and it's engaging; I think it has something to do with most movie buffs' unquenchable need to look for deep meanings in everything. Especially in those movies that are supposed to have them. I put this movie in the same category as Donnie Darko, among others: interesting, but thoroughly overhyped movies.

An amazing movie - fantastic and horrific at the same time. In Spain during WWII, a young girl escapes her mother's painful pregnancy and an evil stepfather by taking on 3 gruesome tasks assigned by a mythical faun who tells her that she's an actual princess. Completing the tasks will prove her loyalty and connect her with her real father, a king. The girl takes on the tasks, which are both visually stunning and life-threatening, while forces gather at home to defeat her step-father's tyranny.

The little girl is fantastic and, combined with the special effects, makes this the wonderful movie that it is. I liked it much more than I expected, and in another way, I was disappointed. It was beautiful, violent (in the good way,) and creepy (a...(read more)lso in the good way.) It looked amazing, and I love the fairytale gone bad aspect, but there were just too many manipulative points. Still, gorgeous and absolutely worth watching. I guess you could say I love it despite the flaws.

Wonderful movie that rekindled my love for international films. A great movie that creeps into the dark side and takes you on a journey.

Del Toro is punching above his (directorial) weight, I doubt he will make anything this good again. It is a beautiful scary film with a rewarding ending.

Awesome mix of reality and fantasy. I could have used more fantasy but whatever, it was still awesome.

This is one of the hardest films I've ever seen, but all the pain and suffering is shown throught the eyes of a little girl. The full cast is magnificent!

Crazy brilliant. If Hollywood could bottle this and give it to crappy directors like Michael Bay or Uwe Boll, the world would be a better place.

Gorgeous and full of life (due, in part, to its treatment of death).

Great movie, even though it's rather tough, and it's defintitely not fantasy, as it was advertised.

Magical, haunting, superbly written, marvelous acting... and that music, that lullaby. Bone-chilling. A perfect film.

thought this was a dark otherworld fantasy, instead got a sad and brutal exploration of the psychology of fascism and authoritarianism and its effects on everyday people and their power or lack thereof, with a considerable side helping of the need for but unreality of escape. a+ bait and switch, a+ movie.
