Guillermo del Toro's beautifully crafted film blends historical facts into a fantasy world in order to tell a coming of age story, which draws parallels between the horrors of the Spanish Civil War (or any other war, for that matter) and its effects on a people who have to endure it.

A truly accomplished storyline and unique attention to details make this overall a cinematic masterpiece that is, unlike many others which claim such distinction, extremely approachable and ultimately a delicacy to be had with all senses!
