Title: Depressing Fairy Tale
Product review: "Pan's Labyrinth" may have won many Oscars, but it is gory, overly detailed and just depressing to watch. It shows sadistic behavior and painful situations over and over. This is not my idea of entertainment. The setting is Spain in 1944 and a little girl's belief in fairy tales in a grim and stark time. She has lost her father, her mother is pregnant and very ill, and her stepfather is a brutal Fascist officer. He is only using her mother to have a son to pass on his name and legacy. He could care less about little ten year old Ofelia (Ivana Baquero). How she finds any happiness at all is what the story seems to focus on. It is just a sad, bad movie that tries to be deep and meaningful. It depresses and fails to strike a chord of any redeeming value.Ugh!
