I’ll confess to only having seen about 40% of this, through a combination of drifting in & out of sleep on a flight, and being interrupted by the flight having to land. It seemed like a lot of fun though – combining a story from my childhood (including some tangible memories of certain sections of it being read to us by teachers from our primary school) with a vehicle for the amazing Anne Hathaway to dine out on the scenery as The Grand High Witch.
Overview
In late 1967, a young orphaned boy goes to live with his loving grandma in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks him away to a seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world's Grand High Witch has gathered.
