"The Company of Wolves" reminded me of Ridley Scott's "Legend", though it's better. It's a similarly dark fantasy with some great visuals and performances, but not much of a plot that you can follow.
This one also has a negligible attempt at a framing story, beginning in the modern day, and showing the movie's confusing events as a dream.
It made me wonder. Did people think that what separates "adult fantasy" from the other kind is some kind of psychological allusion? You're not supposed to believe in this other world. It's a world inside the head of a sleeping girl.
I wish they would have just had the courage of their convictions and gone for it, instead of using devices like that to hold us back.
