Coven

I thought it would be another witch trials story, but it's actually a story about women empowerment and feminism in its purest forum.

Acting is very good, cinematography is beautiful and plot is engaging. It is historically very accurate in depicting how these trials went and what people thought in that period of time.

It is worth your time as it is not too long (1 hour and 30 minutes).

It's a film that hurts the soul, for we are sure it was even worse than the film, the reality, I stopped a few times, by the feeling of discomfort and discomfort caused by some scenes, the poetic and hopeful ending... The film troops inquisitors, and we see blind and disoriented faith, when even the youngest priest and friend of the girls, who finally see them as witches... And They flew...

A new Spanish added to Netflix about the witch trials. A group of girls got accused of witchcraft. To delay the execution, they must lure the inquisitor into witnessing the Sabbath.

This movie is pretty much a satire about the ridiculousness of the hysteria in the past about witches. It demonstrated the saying-is-believing effect: the more you say or do what you think others want to see or hear, the more you believe in it.

As the plot progressed, I started to see how stupid and funny the old beliefs and signs that people used to identify witches. It's easy to trick and invoke curiosity from someone who blindly believe in something.

Overall, a ridiculous and crazy story that poked at the extreme and blind beliefs in witchcrafts. A good refresh from the popular movie genre. 8/10

I'm glad to read all negative reviews are from shallow moviegoers who are looking for magic tricks. This is a masterpiece in all aspects. Haunting, interesting, historical, deep, disturbing, sexy. Genius! Good plot, good acting, good music, good timing and pace... Very serious filmmaking.

Here is a film based on the Spanish Inquisition in the 1600's. A judge arrives at a small fishing village and with his cohorts interrogates young woman with accusations of witchcraft. The nuns at my Catholic school failed to mention this unsavory part of our history. Religion in all forms can be used in dangerous ways. The women here are tortured to the point of confessing to relations with the devil. The atmosphere is historically accurate and the actors are good. It will not restore your faith in humanity or religion, but it is a worthwhile viewing.
