Until treating ailments became professionalized, and for a while solely a men's occupation. Women with healing powers were called witches.

Yes. Agnes was rumored to be the daughter of a forest witch and she did nothing to dispel the idea. She gathered herbs from the forest and kept a pet hawk. I loved the scenes with the hawk.

Other movies to put on your watchlist include Wuthering Heights with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi (who was very convincing as Frankenstein on Netflix). Did anyone see the limited 30th anniversary re-release of Sense and Sensibility? No? Then you'll have another chance next year as it will be showing more widely. The main Brokie connection is that it was directed by Ang Lee who swore, when the film was finished, that he would never again do a film that required working with sheep.
