Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio — 2.5/5
I watched this a week ago and I can already barely recall it. I've got to finally just pull the plug on Guillermo del Toro. He is full of imagination, and putting it on paper only flattens the joy out of it. It is, at least, an interesting take on Pinocchio (though I ultimately didn't particularly enjoy the watching) — the difficulty of children, the difficulty of being a parent, the difficulty of losing a child and placing expectations on another. All the difficulty, all the anxiety, all the vexation of a young boy; all the things that you went through so many years ago only to have to go through it yet again, this time with them, beneath a new lens of "parent." I don't know what the movie had planned for me, but it only reinforces my decision to not have children.
