About
You may like this if you enjoy dark fairy-tale adventures with a strange sense of humor and a moody atmosphere; Not for you if you want a tightly focused story or a more straightforward fantasy, like The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.
Pros: imaginative fairy-tale ideas; strong lead performances; dark, eerie mood | Cons: uneven story flow; too much chaos; jokes miss often
