      Kambole Campbell One Room With A View A hilarious and pointed examination of sexuality through meticulous retro pastiche with some highly entertaining performances, The Love Witch revels in its blend of thoughtfulness with B-movie camp. Rated: 4/5 Aug 25, 2018 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times A side-swiping original that deserves its inevitable cult status. Rated: 4/5 Mar 15, 2017 Full Review Elena Lazic Little White Lies The film offers a brilliant spin on the genre's despicable gender politics, all the while relishing in the pleasures of its outmoded visual style. Rated: 4/5 Mar 13, 2017 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Anna Biller’s campy retro-exploitation homage... Mar 20, 2023 Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema Enjoying 'The Love Witch' means getting the joke, appreciating the joke, and being in on the joke all at the same time. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 13, 2021 Full Review Ian Brill Battleship Pretension Brilliant evocation of 60's romantic comedies and Hitchcock. Watching Anne Biller's film, you would be forgiven to think that this is a lost artifact from 1965. Apr 13, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Noel P I didn't know it was possible to be literally transported back to 1960, which is what the director managed to pull off. The costumes, make-up, set design, "bad acting", and the choice to shoot it on 35 mm film was all clearly intentional, and it worked (kudos to the director). The lead actress, Samantha Robinson is incredible, and I hope we see more of her, and more of this type of "time machine" filmmaking. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review J. S Classy. Too classy for me. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Hlgrm d Poor acting, weak plot. Nice style and colors. Set in the 70s, but if you notice, the surroundings and cars are modern lol. That witch was dumb. Missed opportunity to have a great film. Ending sucked too. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Valerii Ege D The only thing that makes the movie good, which uses pretense as per its style, is its leading lady, Samantha Robinson. If it had been half an hour shorter, it could have been a more sedate movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review helen s Overrated. The only good thing is the visuals. Apart from that, a dull boring 2 hours of my life I will never get back!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/23 Full Review Regan J If you like artsy movies and interpreting them, this is for you. If you do NOT enjoy artsy movies and interpreting them, you will hate it. Do not expect huge plot twists or action. It's a well made movie that has a great cinematography and good social commentary. I love it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
