A good movie

To be honest, I wasnโ€™t really sure what to expect from this rather obscure feature but since I have always been a huge fan of of Daniel Day-Lewis, I obviously had to watch this flick at some point. Basically, it is not of one of his most famous movies, thatโ€™s for sure, but I still think it was interesting, even if I really had a hard time judging it. Indeed, to start with, the beginning was a complete misfire, in my opinion. Indeed, the whole thin was about some seemingly false accusations of witchery and, yet, they did start with a sequence which really looked like some witchcraft which was rather bewildering. From this point, the movie really needed to recover and I'm not sure if they actually really managed this. However, thanks above all to some impressive performances by Day-Lewis and Joan Allen, I still enjoyed it even though it was far from being entirely satisfactory. The point is that the whole movie would have worked better if the approach would have been more subtle. Still, in spite of its flaws, I thought it was a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are a fan of the great Daniel Day-Lewis.
