conulyThe music is great, but the plot + worldbuilding raises some issues that they don't bother to even attempt to address properly.

And for that matter, yes, yes, the power of love and conversations and understanding helped him regain control over his soul, wonderful. But how? Because honestly, without seeing him accept that he had limited agency in his shitty life situation, I don't quite find it plausible that he managed to come to terms with things at the literal last second.
Though I guess it would've been a very different sort of movie if, instead of romantic walks and musical numbers we instead got intense therapy sessions.
