Witches

About This Movie

So, 'Witches' (2023) by Siobhán Cannon-Brownlie is an interesting blend of comedy and some darker undertones. It follows these three young women who seem pretty invisible in their lives, and they stumble into this cultish situation with a box of matches and some sage. The pacing is quirky, shifts between lighthearted banter and moments that really dig into their insecurities. You feel the atmosphere—it’s both whimsical and a bit eerie, which is a fun contrast. The performances are solid, especially in how they portray the struggle between wanting to fit in and the desire to break free from what's expected. Practical effects are used here in a clever way, really adding to the oddball charm. It's distinctive, for sure, not your typical witch story.
