“Though a little too languid at two hours, The Love Witch is appropriately seductive.”~Screen International

Aroview: Writer-director Anna Biller who also produced, edited, costumed, set designed and scored this feminist sexploitation pastiche shot in 35mm as an authentic homage to 1960s B-movies and Technicolor films.

Ostensible 'trash' with a refreshing agenda, it slyly subverts the archetype of the man-eating vamp while at the same time not skimping on the visual burlesque, provided in spades by newcomer Samantha Robinson as the modern-day witch who uses spells and magic (and some dazzling eyeshadows) in her ill-fated pursuit of "love".

1 star (Turkey) Without believable characters or any plot this is very boring, B-movie nostalgia notwithstanding. It's very silly - basically a 2 hour cosmetics ad with off-scene sex thrown in for the punters. Avoid at all costs! ~Sandy

4 stars (Very Good) Visually stunning and meticulously crafted homage to 60's occult weirdness. Love the Love Witch. ~trauma_hound412

2 stars (Good Try) An interesting try but it just gets bogged down after a while - maybe the re-enactments, which were okay in themselves, affected the flow. A good soundtrack and work by the makeup department helped. ~Tubbs
