Be prepared — Pan’s Labyrinth is one of the most sad movies you will see. However, it is very good and you should watch it. I had been warned prior that this movie is in Spanish. However, there are subtitles. When you first start watching, they are somewhat annoying. However, by the end of the movie, you don’t even realize that you are reading. It all just flows together. The story is good (but sad) and the ending is definitely not predictable. If you have seen the movie, I have a question for you regarding the end.

Here’s a brief synopsis:

In this fairy tale for adults, 10 year old Ofelia stumbles on a decaying labyrinth guarded by Pan, an ancient satyr who claims to know her destiny. With a new home, a new stepfather –a Fascist officer in the pro-Franco army — and a new sibling on the way, nothing is familiar to Ofelia in this multiple Oscar-winning tale set in 1944 Spain.

It is rated R and is 112 minutes. It is a movie I definitely recommend that you see.
