The colors! The make up! The fashion! The psychedelia!
The uneven pace! The monologues! The dubbed audio! The run time!
I watched this movie because I'm partial to witches in film. I very much enjoyed the 60s style when it came to the color palette, the costumes, and the make up. The story line was nothing special, but not bad. The actors did a fine job with the script. The witchy imagery was fun. There was a semblance of the standard "be careful what you wish for" moral in there too.
The only real drawback was how 60s they went. I was reminded of Casino Royale (1967) or The Pink Panther (1963). The pacing was uneven, occasionally coming to a grinding halt so a character could give an extended monologue. There were plenty of long intervals of scenery and watching characters doing mundane things not really relevant to the plot, contributing to a long run time. There's plenty of style, but not much substance, so it can definitely become boring for someone who isn't going in with enthusiasm.
Overall, a good watch if you're into movies about witches or movies from the 60s.
