This movie definitely isn't the worst. The beginning had a good establishing of Greta, the school in a funny and interesting way. The transition style of the film is very creative, costume and sets are really nice, I also loved the otherworldly edits for posters and objects connected to Greta's childhood done in a life-like way. But towards the middle and third act, it felt messy and unexplored. We got more out of the real world rather than the fantasy one, it didn't really feel developed aside from a few things.
Not expecting Narnia levels or Where The Wild Things are of worldbuilding , but I think we needed more direction of this journey Greta takes in this fantasy world to feel more impactful. It just felt so fast and then things were just resolved.
Will give credit that the people behind it are very skilled, the story needed more work done to feel fleshed out for me to feel "wowed" by it.
