The Love Witch (2016)
βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ
Oh my god, who gave Anna Biller permission to reach into my head and produce my thoughts into a movie? This is the positive witch representation I have been striving to find! Plus, Elaine was so real for what she did!
Iβm in love with many things. First off, I thought this movie was made in the 60s, so not only was the mod style pulled off really well, even the vignette of the camera and the special effects made me think that Samantha Robinson was a regular Twiggy-level star.
In a film like this, you can tell that every shot, costume, scene, hell, even character name is deliberate. This movie is so carefully crafted. You can see every detail being thought out and placed perfectly. For that, I admire this movie.
Watch this if:
you have ever made βpotionsβ as a little kid
the mish mash of bright colours in horror/thrillers catches your eye
you love Nick and Jessβ first kiss scene in New Girl (no, I wonβt elaborate)
Similar titles:
The Craft (1996) (goth 90s teen witches)
Midsommar (2019) (matching colour palettes with impending doom)
