Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
During the rise of fascism in Mussolini's Italy, a wooden boy brought magically to life struggles to live up to his father's expectations.

A filmmaker talks about his work and love life with an unseen friend behind the camera. We also watch four of his short films.

The film is bogged down with one-off rain monster threats that always come to a quick and undramatic end
Dramatic Horror!!! Wait, what?? Did you say "dramatic horror"?? IS there such a thing?? I mean, TRULY. Well, if San Francisco-based, Pakistani-born independent filmmaker Dr. Hassan Zee and this film critic have anything to say about it, there IS such a beast as experienced through the director's newest feature film set to officially debut October 4th in the City by the Bay. Folks, indie film will always be a bastion of experimentation and originality, and this film for me fits that bill.
Based on the fairy character from previous movies, this fantasy movie gives viewers magic.
The most impressive aspect of this film is the honest and natural performances given by the on-screen duo.
