Saw "Pan's Labyrinth" tonight, and it's totally justified in its placement on many critics' top ten lists. A great, great movie- exciting, scary, and uplifting all at once, and the first Guillermo Del Toro movie I've ever liked. It's like the similarly named Jennifer Connolly film - a young girl in a fantasy world, with a baby sibling involved- except with better acting, a better story, non-laughable special effects, and a distinct lack of David Bowie.
The movie currently has a score of 99 on the Tomatometer; the lone dissenter is a Gabriel Shanks of "Modern Fabulousity."
