The Love Witch comes off as a homage movie to the witch/vampire movies of the early 70s, almost everything feels late 60s/early 70s, in this way this movie is shot, the use of zooming and the lightning, the same goes for the nice sounds and music. Even so, this story is actually set in present day, occasionally you will see a smartphone and a modern BMW among a few other things. I would rather seen that the movie was set in early 70s since it looks and feels very retro. When it comes to the story it suffers from a mediocre script , and it's just a little too lengthy, they should had kept it at 90 minutes, not 120.
The acting comes of for the most parts as awkward, except the star of this movie the love hungry witch Samantha Robinson she absolutely nails it in this femmen fatale role. But overall, The Love Witch comes of as more style than substance, it a gorgeous movie for us who loves the retro style, but it's definitely not a movie for everyone, probably only a very few. But I'm looking forward to see what director Anne Biller has more to come in the future, hope she continuous with these kind of retro movies.
