Lowkey all it's cracked up to be and then some. Fun, dark, fresh, creepy, unpretentious, silly yet profound, with a quirky style that heralds almost half a century of magical realism/urban fantasy, and a bonkers story that comes together very nicely despite its fever dream disjointedness.
It's honestly hard to pinpoint what works so well about it but damn does it work well.
