Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's not a film for small children. But for precocious first-graders with a warped sense of humor and an appetite for chills, thrills and spills, nothing could be better.
– Michael Upchurch,

fresh:
Real darkness seethes beneath the "Once upon a time" surface, mostly due to Henson's seemingly curious selection of the brilliant and audacious Roeg to direct.
– Michael Wilmington,

fresh:
The Witches is a slow-to-get-going but ultimately entertaining yarn about a nasty coven conspiring to turn Britain's entire populace of single-digiters into mice.
– Steven Rea,

fresh:
There are moments of genuine charm and solid invention, but it`s a film that doesn't believe enough in itself.

A minor but very enjoyable Nicolas Roeg fairy tale.
