Vomit all of Sam Raimi's quirks directly into my face for any number of hours, please. He is a filmmaker who has always felt comfortable towing the line between comedy and horror in a way that allows magical stories like this one to exist.

The direction could so easily have turned cartoonish and broad but instead he is able to lift his unrealistic moments by way of satire into the realm of allegory. Even the fever dream low point which seemed to exist merely to provide its character an arc (no spoilers) felt okay by the time the credits rolled. The whole movie steeps in its own unreality and it is fantastic to watch.
