...I don't think it's more "likable" than Pan's Labyrinth, a very different film which I found - erm - very likable. The two movies aren't really anything alike.

"I'm not a girl", says Eli to Oskar. No...and never was. And that wasn't her father. You might consider seeing it again on DVD.

There will reportedly be some deleted scenes on the DVD too.

Truly astonishing performances from the young actors.

I definitely plan on seeing it again but I think it warrants a bigger screen than my 60" plasma so I'll be venturing out, again, to my local art house screen.
Oh, and by "likable," I meant that it had a kinder substance than the very dark, cruel "PL."
- I think LTRWI was pretty "cruel" all on its own. - Harmonia 12:26:45 02/15/09 (0)
  Not in a bad sense, but it is not a gentle story, although it's told with restraint.
  
  SPOILER
  
  Eli was not EVER a girl, you know, and that was not her "father".
