Since we have been watching the early reviews for Pan's Labyrinth closely, one of our readers, 'Sarah', recently alerted us that the film was a huge hit at the Toronto International Film Festival. How well did it do? Well, if a standing ovation means anything.
Pan's Labyrinth Gets Standing Ovation at Toronto International Film Festival
The good people over at cinematical recently reported in from TIFF and claim the response on Pan's Labyrinth showing over there was beyond positive.
The film, which played at the historic Elgin Theater to a packed house, garnered a lengthy standing ovation, amid shouts of "Bravo!", "Encore!", and "Viva Guillermo!" Director del Toro, when introducing the film, said that the film is a follow-up to his 2001 film, The Devil's Backbone.
With the latest screening of Pan's Labyrinth, expect a ton of reviews to begin appearing online shortly.
Pan's Labyrinth is currently set for a limited release on December 29th.
