The practical effects are charmingly crafted, which adds a tactile quality to the experience. Characters drift in and out in a way that feels familiar yet fresh, creating a sense of nostalgia while pushing boundaries. Overall, it’s a distinctive take that might resonate well with those who appreciate artful storytelling.
