Neil Jordan’s work uses magical realism to challenge traditional moral rigidity and institutional authority. By framing childhood mischief through innocence rather than condemnation, the film challenges strict religious and social expectations. However, the film lacks significant representation of diverse identities and demographics. Its value lies in its narrative disruption of social norms rather than its demographic inclusion.
