Anton Bitel Little White Lies Come for the witchcraft, stay for the anticolonialism. Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Phil Hoad Guardian The anticolonial message is clear, but kept subtle and sorrowful, always cloaked in a solemnity emanating primarily from Caileo’s watchful performance Rated: 4/5 Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org Christopher Murray’s Sorcery is a dark, enthralling coming-of-age tale of witchcraft, colonialism and self-discovery. Jun 9, 2023 Full Review James Hanton Outtake Mag Murray’s sombre, fascinating tale is less about a teenage girl looking for payback than it is about rediscovering native heritage in the face of colonisation, prejudice, and grief. Rated: 4 / 5 Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Justine Elias The Arts Desk [Sorcery] sticks to a deliberate, even slack pace. Its real power, though, is Veliz Caileo’s quietly forceful performance. When the film’s shapeshifting mystery get murky, this young performer remains compelling. Rated: 3/5 Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Part fantasy, part western, the film is exquisitely shot, the humid atmosphere of the island creating a degree of visual uncertainty to confound viewers further. Rated: 4.5/5 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
