The narrative is fast and disjointed, but the story is somewhat linear and can be taken at face value. It doesn't cross over into the delightfully over the top absurdism of a Jodorowsky film, and if compared to those pictures, comes off a little tame. I've seen praise for the visual style of the film, but I'm not sure the medieval fantasy aesthetic appeals much to my particular tastes. There may have been some symbolism and commentary about growing up/aging, but it was a little difficult to decipher.
