If I were organized enough to make a top 10 list of 2006 this would be on it. The storytelling is superb, the visuals are beautiful, and everything about the movie works exactly right. It is, as countless reviews have called it, a fairy tale for grown-ups, and I know quite a few grown-ups who will enjoy it.
On a side note, Guillermo del Toro apparently has plans for a third Spanish Civil War movie. Methinks he is interested in that bit of history, but finds it sorely lacking in the departments of ghosts and fairies.
