Another CHUD Review of Pan's Labyrinth

Devin Faraci of Chud.com reviews Pan's Labyrinth:

Watching Pan’s Labyrinth doesn’t just deliver the joy of seeing a well-made film. It doesn’t just deliver the wonder of a darkly beautiful fantasy brought to life. Watching Pan’s Labyrinth gives you the excitement of experiencing a filmmaker blossoming into true greatness, a director taking his spot alongside the other genius fantasists of cinema.

Guillermo del Toro has made a film that reinforces what many of us knew long before – he’s not just one of film’s greatest visual artists but is also one of the form’s consummate storytellers, a man with as much human empathy as design sense. His film brings together many of his favorite images and themes to create a new and breathtaking whole, a summation of his career to this point.
