Written by Will Gilbert. Interesting movie to look at, but failed to make me really care about the characters. The dialogue and manner of speaking was rather artificial and overly-theatrical; as if it were trying to go for a Shakespeare-lite effect. The characters' actions sometimes seemed to be nonsensical and in service to the plot rather than being the way people in such a situation would really behave; they would often act against their own obvious best interests with little to gain.

If there was any kind of theme here I'm not sure what it was: Let love take a natural course, without resorting to supernatural means to advance it?

And I'm not even sure that Celestina really did any "magic" to get the two lovers together; she was just more of a persuasive facilitator than potion-brewing sorceress. Botto arising out of a bathtub--was not, so I guess someone somewhere DID have a problem with it. Enjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with Prime Video.
