I have loved the movie for several years. The cast of amazingly different women, the music, the mystical winds with flower petals... The movie seems to make the whole witch thing much more avant guarde. However, there are plot holes, or things that don't make sense. It's almost portrayed as a comedy. The book is a little darker. The characters, richer.(less)
