Review of Pan's Labyrinth (2006) by Brian Gibson for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) — 27 Dec 2013
Grotesque and macabre thrills here, but not a fantasy-masterpiece. There's a drawn-out-ness to the plot that extends to the time-period being overdrawn. Captain Vidal's an overstated fatherland fascist; the political history becomes morbid melodrama.
