I agree, the art is nice, colors are all very dark, even the bright forest has a very cool pallette, the music is amazing when it's adding atmosphere but a couple of the tracks like the duet are a bit jarring. While the movie has grown on me as it's own thing it just saddens me how it could've been better if it really tried to match the themes. I always hear people say they hate schmendrick because they only know him from the movie that ruined his character. The prose of the book is also very beautiful so I would agree that that isn't really a better/worse comparison and is just two different forms. I do think the movie would be more enjoyable if you watch it before you read the book, I just went the other way around and couldn't help but notice every time part of a conversation was missing or the body language didn't match the scene.
