Slant Magazine
Slant Magazine"A weird and rather wonderful brew of fiction, documentary and animation based on 15th and 16th century witchcraft trials, Christensen's film has a remarkable visual flair that takes in Bosch, Breughel and Goya (no wonder it was a particular favourite of the Surrealists)."

Time Out
Time Out"Swedish and Danish pictures easily hold the palm for morbid realism and in many cases for brilliant acting and production. "Witchcraft"... leaves all the others beaten."
