Two Witches (2021) 

Two intertwined stories of witches, one revolving around a pregnant girl, her partner, and two of their friends, the other revolving around roommates and witchcraft. When these two stories connect, something much larger is at play. 

Written by Kristina Klebe, Maxime Rancon, and Pierre Tsigaridis, and directed by Tsigaridis, Two Witches is a fun surprise of a film that come fairly unexpectedly and bring some interesting takes on witches and witchcraft that go in a different direction than most recent witchcraft-themed films. The folks behind this one seem to have done some research and have brought this to the screen. They also wrote and brought to life characters that feel familiar, setting a ton right away for the viewer, bringing them into the story quickly and effectively. The writing works here and the way Tsigaridis brings it to the screen as director works great.  

The cast here is solid with a stand out performance by Rebekah Kennedy who starts off odd and becomes straight up mesmerizing. Her work here makes the film something more than it already is, getting the viewer really involved in the second half of the story. Her performance is one of the main reasons to watch Two Witches and to watch it more than once. She gives just the right amount of crazy to make the film really interesting. Kristina Klebe appears in this and does well as she usually does to be honest. She a cast member viewers can always count on to deliver a performance that will be on point and give the film what it needs. Dina Silva gives a more everyday witch performance and it’s great to watch here. Her work steals a few scenes here and there throughout the film. The cast as a whole does well, no bad performance to speak of really, which is fantastic to see. 

The film’s visual aspects, the cinematography and editing, are by director Pierre Tsigaridis which allows the film to feel like one true vision, one true style. He is in control of his film here and knows what he wants, bringing it to the screen in a clear manner. The film here is coherent from writing to directing to visual aspects, clearly showing that sometimes, a mostly one-man show can really work.  

Two Witches is an entertaining watch with solid performances and interesting intertwining stories. The lower budget and smaller crew used here actually bring forth a film that really works. It has some good research behind some of its witchcraft and takes an interesting route to develop the story and giving the viewer a film during which they will want to know what comes next. Also, this is a film that should stand up to multiple viewings.
