A dark fairytale, with beautiful imagery. Don't pay attention to the 1 star review. If you like del Toro, you'll probably like this movie. Those who find it boring, have the attention span of a peanut, and no appreciation for artful films. True, it may not be for everyone, because it's not spelled out for you, and with there being no dialogue, you need to pay attention to the details, but it is a good film. You should broaden your scope, and watch it with an open mind.
