An absolute cinematic disaster.

In a world where only witches can cast magic, they must avoid being seen by ordinary people while casting. While Coco does her chores, she daydreams of becoming a witch. When a young witch named Qifrey visits her village, Coco uncovers the “absolute secret,” becomes Qifrey’s apprentice, and begins her studies. This is the story of children who encounter despair, yet reach out toward hope.

Cried during Witch Hat Atelier. Mostly at the ticket price.

If whispered monologues were currency, Witch Hat Atelier would settle the national debt.

Witch Hat Atelier is a cinematic experience designed specifically for film students who want to feel superior at dinner parties.

The science in Witch Hat Atelier has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Witch Hat Atelier?

Honestly, Witch Hat Atelier would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: Witch Hat Atelier is the most overrated film of the decade

Everyone praising the Witch Hat Atelier performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: Witch Hat Atelier's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Look, I wanted to love Witch Hat Atelier. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
