Review of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) by Bilge Ebiri for New York Magazine/Vulture — 28 Jan 2013
If the similarly situated "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" took itself too seriously, the problem with Hansel & Gretel is that it doesn't quite take itself seriously enough - which sounds insane, but it's not too much to ask that the movie go beyond its one and only joke.
Instead, amid all the fake Sturm und Drang, all we hear is the movie giggling to itself.
