‘The Witches’ Movie Review
Critics review
60. Screen Rant
The Witches is certainly bolstered by its performances and visuals (which is to be expected of a Zemeckis production), and while its speedy story will win over young audiences, it could’ve reached new heights had Zemeckis, del Toro, and Barris dared to add a bit more padding.
50. Rafael Motamayor
IGN
Zemeckis turns this beloved, dark story into a campy, weird, yet still fairly entertaining kid-friendly story of accepting oneself. The problem is that it pales in comparison to what came before.
33. David Ehrlich
IndieWire
Zemeckis has made some unsuccessful films over the last 20 years, but The Witches is the most frustrating of them all because it feels like it could’ve been made by somebody else. Anybody else.
20. Joe Morgenstern
“What was weirdly but deliciously scary has grown ponderously out of scale, even for witches at their malign worst. ”
