Summary

In this episode of The Cut Critic, we’re diving broom-first into The Love Witch (2016), directed by Anna Biller. The film follows Elaine, a modern-day witch with a vintage aesthetic, who’s on a relentless quest for true love—armed with potions, seduction, and a dangerously obsessive streak. As her lovers fall under her spell (and drop like flies), Elaine’s fantasy of romance collides with the grim reality of her own desires. With technicolour dreamscapes, feminist satire, and a touch of Grand Guignol, we unravel the intoxicating world of this cult classic.
