Let’s talk about Robert Eggers’ film The Witch, following the torment of a Puritan family by a group of malevolent witches! Or maybe it’s just really that they’re tormenting themselves. We’re talking about the history of Calvinism, the appeal of witches, and whether the film’s ending is empowering or not!
