While I liked this film a lot more than my wife and found it better than Children of Men on several levels, I do see her criticisms. As an author, avid reader and filmgoer she doesn't cut weak storytelling too much slack in any medium. I don't think that she "Panned" the acting or failed to appreciate the grimly beautiful visuals that are well incorporated into this adult fairy tale, but the easy answers, cop-outs and characters written with what she considers limited depth are another matter. We like virtually all of this Director's films, but she and I came to entirely different conclusions on this one.If I were rating Pan's Labyrinth I'd still give it 3 1/2 stars on a 5 star scale, while my wife would probably only give it 1 or 2 stars. Conversely (after due consideration), Children of Men I'd probably only rate as 3 stars, but my wife would give it 4 or 4 1/2. Go figure! :o)
Cheers,
