The film is clearly fiercely personal and strikingly original, and Biller is every bit as dedicated to her passions and aesthetic as Wes Anderson.

"The Love Witch" is one part Alejandro Jodorowsky, one part Elvira, with a smattering of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" (aka my twelve-year-old fantasy come to life).
