As I watched this I thought, “This must be Guillermo Del Toro’s favorite movie. It’s got everything he loves: Fantasy, a child protagonist, the love of horror, political commentary, and most importantly— Frankenstein. Both of the little girls were so damn good. There is something here that really encapsulates what it’s like to see the world in a child’s eyes especially the serious topics the film explores. The production design is also really great — especially the honeycomb windows.
