## Resource

Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar and Natalie Hambly are talking Practical Magic 2 , now in cinemas and already dividing critics and audiences spectacularly. The critics hate it (30% on Rotten Tomatoes). The fans love it (90%). We land somewhere in the middle, and we have thoughts. We get into what the sequel does well — the hair, the costuming, the chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, Lee Pace being extremely welcome — and what it doesn't. We also discuss the film's quietly radical female-centred storytelling, the very slight but very deliberate queer thread, and Nat's theory about what young women actually want from a witchy movie right now (hint: it's not lifting the love curse). Plus: our favourite witchy films and TV shows, our favourite Sandra Bullock films, and a pitch for Practical Magic 3 that we think Nicole Kidman should seriously consider. If you're going — and you should — take a girlfriend, get some wine, and for the love of all things magical, do not lug your suitcases up three flights of stairs if you don't have to!
