Which witch?.Okay, I've been on the fence about this one for years. The hype when it was about to come out was insane, as in "hide yo kids, hide yo pets" kind of thing, so I went into it with extra-high expectations (not a horror fan, but hey, let's mix it up once in a while, you know? I like good movies, after all). It is a well made movie, that much has to be said, the whole New England aura is definitely achieved, the quality of the cinematography and production design you just want to bite into, it's so gorgeous. The script gets to be annoying at points and you just want to go "SPIT IT OUT ALREADY, what do you mean", but it's part of the, you know, "the context". Anna Taylor-Joy definitely delivers a good performance, but the film itself is much ado about nothing. I "get" it, but no. It's x hours of trying to get the fire to light up so it can "slow-burn" and for 10 min of it exploding like a kiddy firecracker on July 4th. Definitely a letdown, but a pretty movie nonetheless.
