Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie is like the worst thing I've ever seen but it is really hilarious . I started dying cause it's so stupid and bad sorry bois

I thought it sounds like a good movie. But after 5 minutes I already thought 'Okay this might not be a good movie but good enough to let play in the background while I do some other stuff. Seriously the girl that plays Rhae is two years younger than me and I am far from coming of age. Sorry to say this but Zosia Mamet has incredible old hands for a twenty five year old girl. She does not look like a teenager I agree with previous reviews the only one being able to act is the grandmother's actress Olympia Dukakis. This movie was a waste of time and I regret I finished it. I am all for being yourself but the way Rhae dresses is insane no wonder she is an outcast. A purse made of plastic bags fun and kind of cool a dress, just plain weird. I am sure they are not bad actors but them all together does not work, I do not believe the Carvers are a family at least not by blood more a patchwork family.Please do not watch it!!!!

While the ending did seem to be slightly abrupt, my family and I enjoyed watching this movie. It did a fantastic job of normalizing Pagans/Wiccans/Witches/whatever-you-want-to-call-them. The portrayal of a typical ritual was accurate, if simple, and overall, whoever was doing the research seems to have put at least minimal effort into getting it correct, rather than simply trying to be flashy or putting something into the movie for the shock value. The main character was interesting and enjoyable to watch, and I thought that the actress did a really good job with it. I didn't have much use for her friend, but maybe that was just because her part didn't really give her time to come across as someone to care about. Aidan Quinn as the dad was awesome. Typically, the men in these kind of stories are extraneous but Quinn's character was involved and he seemed right at home playing the part. Olympia Dukakis was an absolute GEM and totally believable as her character and, of course, her performance was flawless.There were parts that I wish had been better fleshed out, and I hope there is a sequel.

SPOILERS, sort of. I have to agree with the reviewer who stated that the movie showed a serious loss of interest by the director. Either that, or she got kicked off the project at the end and they gave whatever film had already been shot to the editors and said finish it with what you've got. Because after about an hour and a half of a nice little movie aimed at the adolescent market that could also be enjoyed by adults, things went haywire, and then the whole thing hit a brick wall and the credits rolled. First we're watching a nice coming-of-age movie about a Wiccan family with hidden talents, and their daughter, who may or may not have more talent than all of them wrapped into one. We're also watching her come to terms with who she is. But then... then...I don't know, the money ran out, somebody lost a feud, what? Because apparently they just went out and spliced the ending of Stigmata onto the film and ran credits. What a total waste of what should have been an excellent adolescent film. I can't recommend it simply because of the way the ending was handled. I watched it with my niece, and when it ended, we both just spontaneously yelled "Oh, heck, no!" and "What just happened????" Seriously, I came to IMDb to see if there was an explanation for the abrupt, unsatisfying ending. So...is there?
