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.

Poor acting, weak plot. Nice style and colors. Set in the 70s, but if you notice, the surroundings and cars are modern lol. That witch was dumb. Missed opportunity to have a great film. Ending sucked too.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

The only thing that makes the movie good, which uses pretense as per its style, is its leading lady, Samantha Robinson. If it had been half an hour shorter, it could have been a more sedate movie.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

If you like artsy movies and interpreting them, this is for you. If you do NOT enjoy artsy movies and interpreting them, you will hate it. Do not expect huge plot twists or action. It's a well made movie that has a great cinematography and good social commentary. I love it.

One Room With A View

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.

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.

Enjoying 'The Love Witch' means getting the joke, appreciating the joke, and being in on the joke all at the same time.

Rated: 2.5/5

Ian Brill

Battleship Pretension

Brilliant evocation of 60's romantic comedies and Hitchcock. Watching Anne Biller's film, you would be forgiven to think that this is a lost artifact from 1965.
