The CinePearl Take
Cociña’s direction is a masterclass in pacing; the story unfolds slowly enough to let each surreal tableau breathe, yet never feels stagnant. The voice work—particularly the whisper‑like performance of the titular witch—adds a chilling intimacy that anchors the visual extravagance. At its core, the film explores the tension between innocence and the unknown, making the familiar feel unsettlingly fresh.
