Pan's Labyrinth

Watched this last night, after hearing good stuff about it.
Went in thinking it would be a Childs Fantasy story something like the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe or Harry Potter (which i hate)-esque.

Didn't realise the film was a 15 so when the facist captain smashes in someone face with a beer bottle pretty early on in the film (collapsing the guys face in) i was a little taken aback and realised that maybe i should begin concentrating a little more.

Beautiful film, quite like Amelie, but maybe not as colourful, but you could tell a lot of care had gone into making this film.

The focus changes often in the film, from the Fantastical to the Realistic, but you appreciate the characters and the story that is going on in both parts of the film.
