Jewel thieves flee into the Basque forests and are captured by a coven of witches.

Critics Consensus

Dark, nasty, and delightfully subversive, Witching and Bitching is gross-out genre fun with a heaping helping of warped comedy for good measure.

"Witching and Bitching" is accordingly overlong, and conceptually thin. But like most of de la Iglesia's films, it's also freakishly energetic, and often hysterical.

Rated: 3/4

The buddy comedy, gross-out humor and horror elements make for a harmonious mix.

AV Club

Plenty of movies sympathize with outcasts, but only De La Iglesia's sympathize with their ugliest feelings: envy, resentment, and self-loathing.

Rated: B

While other witch-themed movie emphasis tone and spookiness, the title showcases how this leans more into insanity, delivering a high-octane horror story unlike its peers.

Rated: 4/5

Despite its noted cast members, Witching and Bitching is too long to sustain its wispy narrative.

Is a horrible movie with a lot of cliches and machismo. It shows how afraid is Alex de la Iglesia of women, their power and their empowerment. If a woman is independent, strong , intelligent and critical, Alex puts her as a witch and as someone who hates men. It paints women as híper emotional, irrational, incapable to think for her own and ready to go against their love ones cause they fell in love in a minute of a stranger (that by the way thread them like crap). A movie that had a great beginning but ends terrible

Este divertido y controversial film de Alex de la Iglesia ,deja salir magnificas actuaciones de un guion que por momentos cojea pero logra ser funcional cuando su ejecución es terminada, es un film que le hace honor a su filmografia ,logra sacar una actuación magnifica por parte de la iconica Terele Pavez.

A surreal tale that is also a fascinating, high energy comedy. Although there are definitely plenty of cliché moments, the film is mostly a montage of original, bizarre, and even insightful characters and situations. The surreal scenes are backed up by quality acting and an story that is good enough. Although I thought it dragged a bit towards the end, I was still totally absorbed in the strange things unfolding before me. Horror, comedy, action, and originality are a great mix.

A hilariously wacky and balls-to-the-wall satire on the battle of the sexes. There's some questionable effects, but nothing enough to bring down this wildly entertaining and unique spanish film.
