The Geechee Witch: A Boo Hag Story

Richard P

Kipp has always been an intelligent director, trusting of his audience and less prescriptive than some of his peers. There are ideas at play here, seemingly obvious ones, though it's also clear that Kipp wants to immerse us in this story and have us come to our own conclusions. For those familiar with the boo hag legend, the connections will seem obvious yet Kipp infuses the film with a sense of realism and awareness of our history. Even as our story winds down and Leah demands that we "focus on the future," it's clear that the past is always there to guide us, haunt us, and permanently alter us. They say that time heals all wounds. I have a feeling The Geechee Witch would disagree. Full Review at: https://theindependentcritic.com/the_geechee_witch
