A grim fairytale definitely not for Children, Labyrinth is an immaculately shot movie with majestic set design.
Blending the horrors of war with the surreal fantasies of a child, this is a movie that is dark, brutal and ultimately devastatingly sad.
Set in post war Spain, Labyrinth could also be construed as a political allergy with its anti fascist commentary but it undoubtedly works best as a captivating and imaginative dark fable.
Guillermo Del Toro continues to excel as one of the most visually impressive directors in the business.
