Pan's Labyrinth

PAN'S LABYRINTH (2006) - Feb. 3, 2007
Well, that was a bit disappointing. Not that it was bad, but it wasn't exactly the movie of the year that some people are making it out to be. About a little girl in post-war Spain whose mother marries a brutal general, and who concocts elaborate fantasies to escape from the horrors around her. This was definitely a well made film; Guillermo del Toro's visuals were quite imaginative, and the whole movie looked really nice. It was also well acted and all that jazz, but I just never found myself all that drawn into the story. Good but not great. ***
