[Pan’s Labyrinth](http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/1610013)
by Guillermo del Toro

A children’s movie unsuitable for children. A study in beauty that lingers lovingly over primitive surgery and brutality. A pretty, pretty meditation on fantasy, faerie, and fascism.

Someone asked me, “Sure it was pretty, but was it good?”

Does it matter?
