Viewing Notes
I liked the advertising for The Witch (i’m not going to write “The VVitch”, though i do think that bit of typographical flair is pretty awesome) quite a bit. The posters look rad. The trailer was rad. I was sold. But I didn’t get a chance to see it for a few days after its release. Then I did! (a fascinating autobiographical story, i know) When I went to check showtimes on Fandango, I saw that The Witch had a “fans” rating of 2.2(ish) and a “critics” rating of 84% (and 54%/88% respectively on Rotten Tomatoes). That made me want to see it 10x more! (critics are so fucking rad, right?) I guess I just assumed that I would like it because I’m too gosh-darned rock-n-roll to follow the sheeple giving the film a low rating. Was I right? Well, let’s get into it, shall we? (and before you Google it, yes, you can be rock-n-roll even if you say “shall we”)
