Critic Reviews for The Noonday Witch

All Critics (5) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (1)

The climax suffers from unimpressive visual effects, but not enough to sink the measured, atmospheric buildup of the first two thirds or the exquisite performance from Geislerova.

Leah Pickett
Chicago Reader
A domestic sort-of-ghost story, so determinedly slow-burning that it almost forgets that it's supposed to be frightening.

December 7, 2018 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

Andrew Wyatt
The Lens
If the movie's symbolism is heavy, it also makes for some gorgeous shots of sinister women creeping through the shining wheat.

Joule Zelman
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
The film's lyrical construction and intense central performance from Geislerov, well matched by newcomer Lipowsk, do justice to the enduring power of the story,.

Jennie Kermode
Eye for Film
Both mythic and modern, and beautifully shot too, The Noonday Witch eclipses expectations.

Audience Reviews for The Noonday Witch

Oct 01, 2016

Beautiful to look and a great child actress performance aside, the Noonday Witch seems to strive for mythic but never quite gets there, and it's rarely as scary as it needs to be.
