Occasionally spellbinding

Rating: 5/10 (2 October 2019)

The Witch is truly spellbinding when it comes to cinematography and the use of sound. It makes you feel unsettled when nothing is happening at all. However, after it's over, when you start to examine the story and the characters, it all starts to unwind. It seems like an experimental film, intended to evoke emotion rather than tell a story. I'm not saying it's not effective, I'm just saying it wasn't for me.
