About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bold, black-and-white silent retelling with romance, menace, and bursts of dark humor; Not for you if you dislike bleak fairy tales or bullfighting themes, even in a stylized approach like The Artist.

Pros: striking silent-film style; inventive fairy-tale twist; strong atmosphere | Cons: uneven tone shifts; dark, downbeat mood; bullfighting may disturb
