I watched "The Love Witch" the other night, and just had to post a warning in case anyone had read rave reviews about it. This was a 2 hour ordeal billing itself as a "feminist empowerment" film. Not even close. The film peddles pre-feminist feminism adapted into a 2nd rate 60's occult b-movie. It doesn't really work as either homage or parody. The lead actress was great, but the rest of the cast were one-dimensional and awful, and the vintage set designs were completely wasted. I'm truly stunned that this movie was this well received within both horror and indie circles.
