I loved it. It was an deeply moving exprience. I'm also not sure if it's all in Ofelia's mind or not. When I came out of the movie, I was confident it was not in her mind. But, my friend was sure it was all in her mind. It seemed to me that the things Ofelia did through "magic" had consequences that were felt by others. For example, breaking into the Captain's room by making a door with chalk to take her brother or the mandrake root making her mother better. Then again, the Captain didn't even change expression when finding Ofelia talking to the Faun. It thought-provoking ending and brilliant film nonetheless.
