Everyone beat me to Devil's Backbone. I'll third these two nods. I took my daughter to see Pan (she's a very mature 10), and we talked about it for an hour afterwards. It's about a lot of things, but mostly about the effect of war on people, and particularly on children. It is an astonishing film, and you can't help but leave with way too many thoughts in your head. Dammit. Everyone beat me to Devil’s Backbone. I’ll third these two nods.

Heidi, thanks for the mini-reviews on these films. I'll run out to catch these when (or, if) they grace my local theaters, which might be soon since my region does pretty well with small screen, low distribution films.

It's a dusty, gorgeous ghost story set in the civil war in Span from early last century. And way cooler than his American-produced films.
