Wild Witch

Very well done foreign family movie dubbed in English. Great scenery, and special effects. A slow burn movie that connects you to nature...something many people may not appreciate (and hence their low rating of the movie) :-)

The story is interesting enough, I like witchy stories about witches, and familiars and all that. But if you think of taking a shot of tequila every time someone says "wild" just know the script says it 68 times in 101 minutes, so you'll probably end up in the hospital if you do. Overall a nice little movie about a girl discovering her nature-connected magic and having to deal with the big bad dark witch.

The dubbing is fine, the children don't always sound like children, but that's kind of expected with an English dub. Cute movie if you're into witchcraft and have an hour and a half to sit down.

Like the cinematography.... the cast... wow the forrests! I should visit Denmark one day!

As many of the other reviewers have pointed out, the overuse of the word "wild" is annoying at first and then it is just funny. I kept laughing each time I heard the word. If it weren't for the really bad script and awful dubbing, the story would be decent. It would have probably been more effective to simply provide subtitles. The acting is bad, but could have been overlooked if the script were better. Keep an open and patient mind and have fun counting how many times the word "wild" or phrases with "wild" in it appears in the movie. See if you can get through it without cracking up and having an absolutely Wild time. Just know that the ending is just as bad as the beginning.

Based on a book series by Lene Kaaberbøl, it is not as flexible as the movie could be if designed for a movie.

Clara (Gerda Lie Kaas) comes of age to find her mother seemed to forget to tell her of her destiny. She gets scratched by a black cat and everything in her life goes wonky. Yep, she is the one, and has to do the things "The One" has to do to save everything that is "Wild."

I must say the real cutie is May Simón Lifschitz; she plays the evil Kimæra.

I watch the one with the English dubbing. Somewhere out there is the original language version. The trailer is in Danish and they only used basic words so I can see that the dubbing is convenience but not necessary.

This could become a series. However, it was wrapped up well.
