Pan's Labyrinth Recent Fan Reviews

    Is it for kids?

    My 11 year old had read and seen reviews of the film and desperately wanted to go. I had major reservations due to the rating (as many ratings are way too lenient in my estimation.) Although there were disturbing images, I didn't feel that they were excessive or without purpose. The dual storyline was intriguing, thoughtful and evoked feeling.

    My son loved the movie and surprising to me, I did too. I'm glad we saw it and I'm glad we saw it together. Not for every 11 year old (hence the R rating) but an excellent film with a lot of substance!

    Violent, but spectacular film based on the Greek religion

    If you are a theology fan, you will love this film! It is based on the Greek religion, specifically that of Arkadia and other inland areas where Hades was worshipped. The movie is split into 2 halves that collide in the end - one half is the story of a leader in the Spanish civil war. The other half is his stepdaughter's adventures and trials involving the Greek religion - it turns out her mother is Persephone and her father is Hades, god of justice, and she is faced with many of the puzzles and challenges from Greek religious texts, including the temptation to eat from the table of Hades. There is also a scene with the reverse-birth of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, and another scene involving Kronos. Theologians like myself will be salivating! For those not as familiar, Hades was protector of the innocent and punisher of those who violated the 3 major sins, which comes together in the very end. The only complaint I had is that the movie was BRUTALLY violent.

  • Must Go!

    to obey or to question

    by Dhyana

    Definitely a must see, not only for the creative storyline and the visual effects but for capturing a human dilemma that can be told both through fairytale and through a war drama: Do you dare to question authority? The film vividly answers that you simply must. The graphic violence absolutely bars younger children from watching without being disturbed. Heck, it's disturbing for adults, too, but overall a movie worth experiencing.
