Nigel Andrews Financial Times Bewitchingly bonkers. Nov 12, 2014 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 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 Nov 12, 2014 Full Review David Stratton 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 Nov 12, 2014 Full Review Rachel Bellwoar 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. Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage Tremendously profound... [Full review in Spanish] Oct 28, 2022 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault 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. Rated: A Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
