This is how you take a classic fairy tale and give it a fresh spin. Even if it drags at times it's a fantastic visual, psychological and musical cinematic trip.
Just scrapes 4 stars, I really really liked it. The performances were great, it was very creepy most of the time and the special effects were spectacular. The film has such an imagination. It is genuinely crazy. But this is, at times, it's downfall. It aims for too much and goes on too many tangents that it struggles to be as coherent as it could be. Still, do not pass up this highly original, fantastic film
love the atmosphere Hansel & Gretel brought, unique dark fairy tale, good to watch even i don't like the ending much..
