Well, they didn’t exactly "make" me—but they played a part in shaping my tastes. Because for those who love it, music is something profound, it’s memories—moments when you felt love,anger,hurt, or when you became attuned to issues that go beyond your own personal life, and so on

1/5 I didn't read much about this documentary before watching it & that is exactly what anyone interested in seeing it should do. All you really need to know is that the director hired two young actresses to stand in for 2 of a mother's 4 daughters -daughters who, for reasons

5/5 brutally honest -it doesn't spare even its own protagonists- and by the end, I was left stunned: the whole story turned out to be far more high-profile than I had imagined. I shouldn't go into details, it is a story that is definitely worth telling and bringing to light.

4/5 viewer, offering breadcrumbs to help them find their own way, without ever becoming pretentiously enigmatic or mysterious. All the events are presented in detail, but making sense of them requires a good deal of observation, as well as some active mental engagement. It is

3/5 intelligence, recounting the tragic story of this family while avoiding melodrama, instead,it presents the events with honesty, a sense of active engagement & even humor. Chilling things are voiced -& just as many are implied- which is what I liked most. The film trusts the

2/5 that are revealed later, are absent. Technically/aesthetically, the result is visually striking. But that is merely a detail, as this is a great documentary -inventive in an era when it is difficult to find a fresh formal approach. It is compelling and infolds with great

1/5 For me, horror films from the 60s -late 50s & early 70s including- that lean into "atmosphere & style over substance" are hit or miss. This applies whether they are American productions or European arthouse (Gialli,Hammer films etc). Imo, many of them are mediocre or bad.

5/5 one. Sadly, the film is forgotten, Gian Maria Volontè nearly steals the show -"nearly" because nothing could possibly steal it from the stunning Rosanna Schiaffino- though the lead, Richard Johnson,held his own. I need to watch more films by this director (Damiano Damiani)

4/5 it is of a very high standard. Gothic Mystery, seduction,passion,eroticism -the film unfolds more like a novel, as it is, based on the work "Aura" by the renowned Mexican author Carlos Fuentes. This is yet another reason for its high quality-perhaps the most significant

3/5 didn't bother me at all, the film is so well-directed & so beautifully shot in B&W that I could have happily watched it for even longer. Everything here is above average -including the performances. Usually, the acting in similar Italian films isn't that good, but here,

2/5 But "The Witch" is one of the best films of this type. This is a very good mystery film that evolves into a horror movie as it progresses -though it bears no resemblance to typical horror. Instead, it relies on atmosphere, eeriness, enigma & twists. It's slow-paced, but it
