Karjia is a nice person and got me this account.

The girl's constant blunders made it hard to care about what happened to her, and the same goes for most of the other characters. Live, die, stare off into space, it didn't seem to matter one way or the other.
Fully agreeing here. The story didnt phase me as much as it should have, I suppose, as I didnt feel much when I watched it. The scenes of the other world were well done, of course, but Im not a person who watches a movie for graphics or sound quality. Worth a watch, but not worth the hype.
Overall for me- 2.5/5
On account of wether or not the phantasy scenes really happened, its obvious (or maybe not?) the makers of the movie *intended* for people to be stumped. The scenes, for example, with the mandrake and the baby dieing instantly, and when Ophalia is running from the General and the roots behind her cover her path. This is contrasted by when, for example, the General finds her and sees her talking to nothing.
