Review of Roald Dahl's The Witches (2020) by Kuboponyo — 22 Oct 2020
I braced myself for a poor adaptation but I was pleasantly surprised, I'd like to think Dahl would be fairly happy with this especially if it makes more kids read the books. Lets not sugarcoat the original too much, changes were made from the source material which even as a kid I wasnt happy with.
But this is a fun film, kept me engaged. Hatherway obviously had a great time filming and it shows, and Octavia Spencer was the standout. CG is occasionally meh however the film looked gorgeous, I didnt mind the transfer to America as its general themes run true wherever you base the plot.
