“The Craft” (1996, Andrew Fleming)

The Craft (Andrew Fleming, 1996, 105 min, USA, Color, 35mm)

A group of outcast teenage girls study magic to gain power over the problems that young women often face in high school (gaslighting, bullying, racism, body issues, and sexual assault to name a few). The Crafthas emerged as a defining cult movie of female empowerment, survival in the modern world, and excellent mid-90s fashion.

“Deliciously dangerous excursions into adolescent self-discovery.”
—Wally Hammond, Time Out
