Critics Consensus

The Love Witch offers an absorbing visual homage to a bygone era, arranged subtly in service of a thought-provoking meditation on the battle of the sexes.

4/5

A hilarious and pointed examination of sexuality through meticulous retro pastiche with some highly entertaining performances, The Love Witch revels in its blend of thoughtfulness with B-movie camp.

4/5

The film offers a brilliant spin on the genre's despicable gender politics, all the while relishing in the pleasures of its outmoded visual style.

4/5

The multi-tasking Biller, who wrote the music, designed the lavish sets, made the costumes and edited the film, walks a fine line between pastiche and pulp homage here, but pulls it off in spectacular fashion.

Though not without its flaws, The Love Witch demonstrates an astonishing amount of potential for all those involved. What Anna Biller managed to achieve, with limited resources, easily stands up with the films of Lucio Fulci...
