I watched the dubbed version so I don’t think the songs hit the same. The animation was incredible and the characters were designed well. The authority figures looked and acted a bit cheesy but it makes sense, in a Cyclops way. Great visuals if your tripping but a totally avoidable movie. It’s a weird nod to Beauty and The Beast with more childhood pain.

Perfect movie. Crawls under your skin and doesn’t leave for a few days. Really fucked up combo of real life horrors and witchy superstition.

Fucking great movie even without trying to break down all the metaphors.
