The Love Witch (2016): "Freud Would've Loved Sex Magic"

No thoughts, just vibes or all thoughts and no vibes? Sydney told Monica and Chelsea to get “flavor blasted” before watching The Love Witch (2016), but we definitely needed our full mental faculties for this discussion. The movie was undoubtedly a labor of love from writer/director (and producer/songwriter/editor/production designer/art director/set decorator/costume designer/shall we go on) Anna Biller — and the finished product is a feast for the eyes, particularly with all the ‘60s inspired fashion — but whether or not it was a successful film is up for discussion. There’s at least one thing we can all agree on, though: Gahan is the absolute worst.
