    Storyline

    • Trivia
      While writing the script for The Love Witch, Biller had been reading relationship self-help books, and one particular piece of advice that stuck out to her was that if a woman wants to keep a man around, she should love him less than he loves her. She noticed a parallel between this advice and the female characters in classic cinema who love someone to death such as Ellen in Leave Her to Heaven (1945), so she decided to created the character Elaine in the same vein.
    • Goofs
      Elaine performs a seductive dance for Richard, causing him to bite her rear end in a fit of lust. Before he bites her, red bite marks are already visible on her right buttock from previous takes.
    • Quotes

      Elaine: According to the experts, men are very fragile. They can get crushed down if you assert yourself in any way.

    6/10
    Throwback in the now
    If you were to judge the costumes, the make up, the over-acting and other things you might find yourself believing this is a movie set in the 70s. But it is not. While the characters do act and give out a 70s vibe, this is in the current time (technology is one of the give aways).

    Unfortunately that also brings logical errors. Which may have been included to stay in line with the movies of that period. Because if you like the style you will obviously love this way more than my 6/10 is telling you it is worth. Staying as objective as possible is tough. Because I also do like what they do, but the flaws in character especially and decisions (ending) is failing in a way. Strands are being left unanswered, which may leave you dissatisfied. Nudity will not be able to change that to the better I reckon
