Critics Consensus

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.

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

Rated: 3/5

At the Movies (Australia)

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.

Rated: 4.5/5

Vague Visages

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.

Those who seek fizzier, stomach-calming seltzer at the movies are advised to look elsewhere. Others, like me, will surrender gratefully to the black and bloody enchantment.

-É um filme visualmente impressionante, mas que sofre com uma premissa "preguiçosa". -A ideia central envolvendo um mundo fantástico e uma alma perdida é muito simplista e pouco trabalhada pra justificar um filme de 2 horas. -A infantilidade da protagonista dificulta uma maior identificação do publico, visto nao se tratar de um filme para crianças. - O filme em resumo pareceu buscar um enredo qualquer pra justificar a existência dos personagens e o desenrolar da trama, mas falhou em fazer isso de forma satisfatória. - Como ponto positivo, os personagens são muito interessantes, e o contexto de guerra é excelente. - Nos primeiros minutos de filme me decepcionei com a premissa pra um filme tão aclamado, e em momento algum encontrei toda a complexidade que alegam permear esse filme.

This extremely amazing movie I have ever seen. I learned that true good movie doesn't make you want to watch it again, but makes you live with in our heart. The first thing I liked from a large part, it would be plot. Audience can see the barrier between fantasy world and reality gradually breaking down. During that process we can experience totally wonderful things. I also respect the way Del Toro include heavy message about Spain Civil war. Even though he chose heavy topic, he express message easy to understand way, without being too explicit. Movie's aesthetic is absolutely impressive too. It uses less CG, so it looked very realistic. It was also amazing that the designs of the creatures, props, and set. It gives bizarre and beautiful at the same time. If you want to watch cruel fairy tales, I highly recommended this movie.
