3/5

It's so audacious and so technically accomplished, and arrives here garlanded with so many radiant superlatives, that I wish I liked it more.

4.5/5

The story is a compelling and deeply involving one, and the film is both beautiful, exciting, and sometimes horrifying. The creature effects are superbly handled.

Such is the case that Pan's Labyrinth has already achieved the status of a contemporary classic, and there's no better way to evaluate it than with the perspective of these twenty years. [Full review in Spanish]

A few of the tales are a bit of a stretch, but the scope of the Pan's Labyrinth universe comes out feeling much larger than ever before.

The movies visuals alone make it a must watch, 10/10 for me. The cinematography was stunning and beautiful, the lighting gorgeous. The story itself breathtaking and in many ways inspiring. May we always have childlike wonder and fantasy in our hearts.

Such a masterpiece. I remember seeing it by myself in 2006 and having to stay sit for five minutes after the movie ended because I needed to collect myself.. I have the pleasure of working with Director Guillermo Navarro who won the oscar as a director of photography for this film. He directed an episode of the bridge where I was privileged to work on. Here’s a little fun fact for you. “Guillermo del Toro's 2006 dark fantasy film Pan's Labyrinth holds the record for the longest standing ovation in the history of the Cannes Film Festival at 22 minutes.”
