Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 'The Love Witch (2016)' is without a doubt a shining technical achievement, the visually stunning sixties stylings are a sight to behold and the general throw-back vibe is almost pitch-perfect. Sadly, the script and story are lacking, to say the least. That's not to suggest it doesn't have a point, in fact it seems to be making some sort of misguided commentary on gender and sexuality in several scenes that stop the 'plot' to become preachy. This is made more head-scratching when you realise that the 'satire' is supposed to be serious, with the philosophy of the piece portrayed entirely earnestly on the part of the director (who wore many hats on this production). The feature just meanders about for far too long and doesn't really provide much in the way of character or narrative. Thus, I was actively bored for quite a while. 5/10

sunintended This film is inspired by the glamour of past classics and tries to tackle the enforced masculinity of those films. It is a film for women to recognize the predicament of being a woman in a society mostly run by men for men.The woman is seen as a child, a Lolita, the other woman, the wife that cooks and cares for the spawn of the man and finally becomes surplus to needs and finally a spinster.The man cannot see past his own biological needs which are embellished in culture and media because they sell so easily.Consider the man who preys on younger girls but then holds his own daughters due to their virginity. He protects them like possessions to be "taken" by another man.Consider the man who chases a girl, has his way and then decides she is not that great anymore.Women are a vessel for mens needs but they are so much more.Woman have their own needs, dreams and aspirations yet are forced to conform to this society of masculinity that is so flawed yet seems to be sustained.This film is an expression of woman and not popcorn chomping material.

Lizzie C The story and plot are awful. I couldn't even sit through the entire film, as the acting was just plain horrible to watch. The direction is sub-par, at best. It reminds me of the old 60's-70's porno's in which the acting and story lines were dreadful. I would not recommend this for anyone unless you are looking for something to fall asleep to or satisfy a late night urge.

Paul Magne Haakonsen First of all I must admit that it took me two attempts to actually get through this movie. Not because this was a bad movie, don't get me wrong. The first time I made it some 25 minutes into it before I had to leave it, as my wife wasn't impressed with what was transpiring on the screen. So I returned to the movie some two weeks later by myself, because I thought that the movie definitely deserved a chance, because I was entertained by what I had seen so far back then during the first round......And I am glad that I did return to watch "The Love Witch", because this is definitely an interesting and entertaining movie. I fear that this might be a movie that will be grossly underrated or overlooked, because it is definitely not a mainstream movie. If you happen to pick up this movie, you definitely owe it to yourself to take the time and sit down to watch it.So "The Love Witch" is set in a modern age, yet there is something very 1970's about it, from the way that people dress, the make-up and the hairstyles. So was the movie supposed to take place during the 1970s or what? If so, then they sure did fail to get the authenticity correct with the cars in most of the scenes where there were cars, as they were cars of newer models. So was this set in the 1970s or modern age spiced up with that unique 1970s wardrobe? That was a little bit confusing.Samantha Robinson was really great in her portrayal of Elaine, the witch character. She had a particular presence and charm to her which instantly made her the center of attention. Plus it really helped a lot that the costume and make-up department got the character spot on with the wardrobe and cosmetics. This was the first time that I got acquainted with Samantha Robinson and her talent, and she definitely seems like she could be very well on her way for bigger and greater things in Hollywood.The cast in "The Love Witch" was actually quite good, and it was especially Samantha Robinson who carried the movie. But the cast in general were doing good jobs with their given roles and characters, and the talented performers were nicely cast for these characters."The Love Witch" has an alluring and very fitting music score that really accompanies the movie quite well.Writer and director Anna Biller really had managed to conjure up something quite magical here with what she did with "The Love Witch". Ranging from dialogue and characters to mood and atmosphere, then it was all a great combination that definitely had been put a lot of thought and effort into.The visuals effects in the movie were also very 1970's, having a very psychedelic feel to it, it terms of color, appearance and function. This was working very well in favor of the movie.Labeled as a horror comedy, I somehow failed to see the horror aspect of "The Love Witch". It was more of a dark magical comedy of sorts - if there even is such a genre.Being a movie that revolves around a witch who uses magic to obtain the love of men, there is of course some occult and supernatural aspect to the movie as well. It is done with enough grace and respect without delving into being too much of a focal point for the movie."The Love Witch" can be somewhat of an acquired taste, and I think that you must indeed have a love for the world of cinema to truly appreciate "The Love Witch" for what it is. This is not your ordinary mainstream movie by any means.
