About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a romantic fantasy that’s playful, strange, and sometimes heartbreaking, with nonstop oddball ideas like The Science of Sleep; Not for you if you prefer grounded stories or dislike surreal, unsettling detours.
Pros: wildly imaginative world; touching romantic core; memorable surreal moments | Cons: uneven tone shift; thin character depth; random disturbing scenes
