Library's review

An underrated film. Some pacing issues in the first half aside, I think it is very elegantly made, with a heartfelt story, memorable visuals, captivating fantasy elements and a beautiful synergy to the plot once it all comes together at the end. I liked it even better on second watch, picking up on

more throughlines than I did the first time around. Though I suppose the combination of sappy period romance and supernatural good versus evil isn't for everyone.
