A pre-release of this movie was test-marketed, with focus group following the screening, at the Free Spirit Gathering, an annual Pagan festival. As a regular attendee at the festival I saw and early version one year, with a different edit the next year.
It is an honest, if not a bit didactic, portrayal of the struggle between the harsh capitalist modern world and a more idealistic nature-based view.
In the Pagan community the Witch portrayal in this film would be called "fluffy bunny" -- not a polite term. Many Witches are more forceful in their approach to being screwed-over. I would have liked a more earthy portrayal, more gray shades in the characters, and less black & white.
