If Roald Dahl's The Witches was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.
“Certified chaotic energy.”

Counted the jumpscares in Roald Dahl's The Witches. Lost count. Lost interest. Refunded the popcorn emotionally.

If exposition were a contact sport, Roald Dahl's The Witches would be banned for life.

Hot Take: Roald Dahl's The Witches's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Roald Dahl's The Witches last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Roald Dahl's The Witches?
Director clearly thought Roald Dahl's The Witches was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Roald Dahl's The Witches is the most overrated film of the decade
Honestly, Roald Dahl's The Witches would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Roald Dahl's The Witches actually is?
Everyone praising the Roald Dahl's The Witches performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
