Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Sexylocher Masterful Movie
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Ashleigh Miller I had high expectations for this movie and this just did not equal them at all. Nothing really seemed to be happening throughout the movie except that the family were starving and they had a child go missing. This was until near the end and that's only because the rest of the family died and the person they kept calling a witch finally became one. I couldn't find myself connecting to any of the characters and thought the actors mumbled a lot which made me not really know what they were saying and made me really bored.
namob-43673 I do not really like this movie that much. It is a bit too boring, extremely slow paced, and a bit confusing at times.However the acting is phenomenal, from the Goat to the kids, and if Anya Taylor-Joy is not a shining star a couple of years from now I am going to eat my laptop. The story is also very compelling. Yes, it is not perfectly told, as it is also confusing, but very interesting nevertheless. The movie is feeding us psychological horror and it works thanks to an amazing cast. The ending is also top. I love it when evil "wins", and I also believe it open up the possibility for sequels. I think they should do a follow up to this, Anya Taylor-Joy can play a fully grown adult witch that uses her body, mind and spells to gain immortality and watch the Salem trials from afar while chewing on a baby...
BA_Harrison New England, 1630: a puritanical family living in the wilderness are tormented by dark forces.Robert Eggers, director and scribe of The VVitch, thou displeaseth me with thy movie: I commend thee for thy dedication to realism, but authentic production design, gloomy cinematography and oft incomprehensible period dialogue maketh not for an enjoyable experience.I wished to take my leave soon after the start, though I continued perchance matters improved. This was not to be! I bade thee, list' not to the positive reviews that laudeth this film, for I speak aright when I say that The VVitch doth make thine eyes heavy and time standeth still.By the end, thou will hath endured much tedium, but I ask thee 'for what?'. Naught in the way of scares, I tell thee, but many a yawn.
bhirsch33 This movie sucked. It had so much potential and then wasted it. I hate movies that ruin it with the ending. I hate loose ends and this movie had quite a few. Yuck.
