Watch: Sorceress 2017 123movies, Full Movie Online – Naama Kates’s directorial debut, Sorceress, a modern film noir, explores the glorious, delirious, and infinite powers of a world that’s always present, whether we realize it or not. Set against the backdrop amid the drone of everyday life in wintry Russia, the film opens as Nina, a 20-something American ex-pat returns to Eastern Europe after the tragic death of her mother. Her chance meeting with a beautiful, confident and mysterious artist, Katya, turns her life upside down, for the better, but leaves her questioning her identity, her sanity, and her own truth. Nina fears she is destined to follow her mother’s descent into madness, before ever discovering the secrets of 16th-century alchemist, Giordano Bruno. The history, the memories, the stars, the cosmos: they all come to bear upon her, threatening to undo her very identity, at once a liberation and a horror. “Sorceress plays in this space between the human and the inhuman, between past and present, between the drab and the ecstatic. It’s never just one or the other. Perhaps Nina is insane. Or she really is frolicking with the stars. What difference does it make?” – Daniel Coffeen, author, Reading the Way of Things Filmed on location in Finland at Haihatus, an artist fellowship and residency program. Financed by the Finlandia Fund, 2016..
Plot: A young woman raised in the US returns to her birth country in Eastern Europe after a devastating tragedy. Questioning her sanity and her sexuality, she starts believing she possesses supernatural powers.

Doesn’t Live Up to Potential
I love finding hidden gems on services like Amazon Prime, and I try not to let low ratings scare me away.This film just didn’t have enough spark to make it worth recommending.
A woman named Nina moves back to Europe (after a childhood in the US) following the death of her mother. Socially isolated, Nina strikes up a friendship with a local woman named Katya which quickly morphs into a romance. But Nina’s belief that she is a witch (inherited from her mother through blood) begins to knock things off the rails.
This is a great premise! And I did like the way that they showed the romance develop between Nina and Katya. The two actresses have good chemistry. But the film just doesn’t know where to go in its third act. It was already kind of slow and low-key (something I don’t always mind), but it lacks any punch in it’s final twenty-five minutes. There was one moment at the end that I thought was powerful, but by then it was pretty much too little, too late.
If you are interested, though, it’s worth noting that the movie is only like 70 minutes long, so you aren’t exactly throwing away a whole evening if you want to check it out.
The art of manifestation
Nina (Naama Kates) a singer less polished than Emma Stone, leaves the US after the death of her mother to live with relatives in Eastern Europe who she barely knows, working as a librarian, checking out Harry Potter books. She is into Giordano Bruno, 16th century pseudo-scientist/scientist and we get a heavy first person narration from Nina, reminding me of bad Rod McKuen poetry readings my ex-girlfriend used to drag me to and I had to pretend to be inspired. She meets Katya (Oona Airola) moves out of her aunt’s place and PLOT SPOILER, later moves back in. Nina imagines herself a sorceress, connected to her mother through the blood….umm the same blood her non-sorceress aunt has? And bigger PLOT SPOILER, that is the entire plot which was good enough for an Award of Merit (whatever that is) for women film makers at IndieFest 2016. So Naama Kates can put that on her mantle next to her T-Ball trophy.If you are heavy into New Middle Age Kabbalah mysticism stuff, you might find the film of some interest, or if you liked “Love Witch” for its content, you might like this film. As for me, I was bored. Knowing where the stars are in the sky doesn’t get you any closer to them. No seriously. It doesn’t.
