Ratings and reviews

Kathryn Hunter's performance as the titular hag is undeniably captivating, her over-the-top antics providing most of the film's entertainment. However, the film struggles to find a consistent tone, veering wildly between horror and absurdist comedy. While the visual style is striking, the narrative often feels disjointed, leaving the viewer unsure of what to make of it all.
