dos pulgares arriba.

Minus the Spanish dialogue and English subtitles, I give Pan's Labyrinth two thumbs up. I do not watch movies often, so it is always refreshing when I see a good one.

Beautiful and exhilarating, a fairy tale for grown-ups. - Roger Ebert

Beautiful, it was. Definitely deserved the award for Best Cinematography. It was also beautiful in the sense that it captures bravery, sacrifice, love, and loss all through an eleven-year-old girl. Somewhat dark and gothic, the movie does leave you with your head down, but only because you feel for the little girl and all that she endured.


Exhilarating. Lee-Ting can attest to that - just ask her how many times she jumped during the movie. Though the jumping may have been more fear induced, the movie did keep you entertained. Between the plot and the character designs, the movie had my undivided attention. How could one not give into the likes of a character like this...


Beautiful and exhilarating, indeed. One can only dream up a character like that.
