“The Devil’s Backbone” is ranked on the low end of the Guillermo del Toro scale to me, which is to say I thought it was glacially paced, oddly choreographed, awkwardly written, overly expository, brilliant, beautiful, tragic and interesting. My wife Aly pointed out that this is pretty classical Hollywood, and she’s right – meaning I’m painting all classical Hollywood movies as boring, I guess, which makes me a shit film critic.
