I would say that the magic pretty firmly falls in the magic realism category. As in, it doesn't matter if it's "real" or not because it's presented as real and the characters interpret it that way. Or I'm still misunderstanding magical realism.

    I'm not sure, I think there were enough hints in the film that the mythical aspects weren't real that I feel it's meant to be a commentary on the characters and their intentions and mental states, rather than a part of the world.
