Why:
- Incredible story... multiple realities, along with artistic filming... Great symbolism and metaphors...
- Great CGI effects; ex (the faun, the frog, the pale-man, the fairies, and the labyrinth)
- Chilling performance by Sergi Lopez as the evil Captain Vidal...
- Beautifully sad music, that goes well with the fictional world
