I think it's one of the most interesting, captivating movies I've seen in years, and I look forward to dissecting its lovely, twisted, romantic genius in future viewings.

A modern feminist horror tale that rewards deep exploration beneath its admittedly beautiful surface. What looks like it might be simply a pure exercise in style not only invites multiple viewings, it requires them.

It's a lot of fun.

A side-swiping original that deserves its inevitable cult status.

... like Burn, Witch, Burn or Hammer's The Witches colliding with a Doris Day sex comedy in the free love hippie culture, all existing in a bubble of sixties style and attitude that is somehow intact in modern day North Coast California.

This is not a potion fit for everyone, but for a select few, The Love Witch offers powerful magic.

Biller's visual splendor is ... wasted on a mediocre script riddled with structural problems. Scenes follow another willy-nilly, as if moved around late in the process.

Biller's challenge of the surface dares us to be mesmerised without being beguiled, and to parse the realm of female agency without demonising its contradictions.

A consistently hilarious pastiche of camp 1960s thrillers, this nutty movie plays it dead straight, even though every scene is luridly over the top.

Is "the Love Witch" a parody? It sure feels like it. But I'm not sure Biller intended it to be one.

Lovers of old kitsch movies will appreciate this pastiche, an arch tale of a suburban witch.

It's like a Bewitched episode stretched out to two hours. But boy, is it gorgeous to look at.
