The PlaylistGabe ToroJun 13, 2014
It's ludicrous genre fun even if you didn't take into account the properly-bewitching Ms. Bang. Read full review

Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlJun 10, 2014
A major achievement in sunny wretchedness, Álex de la Iglesia's splatter-comedy Witching & Bitching projectile pukes its outrages at you with a gusto recalling the early days of those (sadly) reformed upchuckers Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson. Read full review

RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsJun 13, 2014
Witching and Bitching is accordingly overlong, and conceptually thin. But like most of de la Iglesia's films, it's also freakishly energetic, and often hysterical. Read full review

Miami HeraldRene RodriguezJun 12, 2014
De la Iglesia’s knack for offending audiences while showing them a good time is stronger than ever: Witching and Bitching isn’t much on substance or logic, but man, is it fun. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyJun 12, 2014
Plenty of movies sympathize with outcasts, but only De La Iglesia’s sympathize with their ugliest feelings: envy, resentment, and self-loathing. Read full review

McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreJun 9, 2014
It’s the best Almodovar movie Almodovar never made, a riotous, gory farce that might be the funniest movie of the summer, and surely is the coolest. Read full review

The New York TimesBen KenigsbergJun 12, 2014
Known for his genre pastiches, the director, Álex de la Iglesia (“El Crimen Perfecto”), rarely lets the pace flag, and the buddy comedy, gross-out humor and horror elements make for a harmonious mix. Read full review

The DissolveDavid EhrlichJun 11, 2014
Transitioning from Reservoir Dogs to From Dusk Till Dawn with a lunatic’s grace, Witching & Bitching resolves itself as a gloriously gory civil war between men and the grotesquely literal manifestations of how the worst of them see the fairer sex. Read full review

Slant MagazineChuck BowenJun 9, 2014
Álex de la Iglesia has a real flair for wild action sequences that remain exhilaratingly coherent and sensical. Read full review

New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottJun 20, 2014
Witching and Bitching -- though perhaps a bit overlong, and prone to meandering -- is unapologetic about what it is: a crazy, just-for-fun film that revels in its own bad taste. Read full review
