The review
Méliès, 1901. A wife is given a key and told not to use it. She does. The room holds the earlier wives. I am not going to describe them, and this is not a family romp. A teen, not a small child. I made that cut before the reel, not after.
The disobedience and the room are the story. That's a marriage used as a lock, not a home I want copied. Curiosity gets the key turned, and the warning was not empty. A small child doesn't get this one. A teen can, if we keep the description shut.

The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Practical Magic 2
40 instead of 28
Practical Magic 2 is still a fantasy film, and it scores 40 instead of 28. What you gain is republic: The town is the question.
The eight
- 1Industry
No work is done; a key and a forbidden room carry it.
- 4Household
A wife and the earlier wives: a marriage, and not a home.
- 3Piety
She is told not to use the key, and conscience loses.
- 4Courage
Using the forbidden key is the risk, and the room answers.
- 1Republic
A private key, not a law or a neighbor owed a duty.
- 2Temperance
The story is the want that will not stay off the key.
- 6Truth
The warning holds: the room is what she was kept from.
- 1Stewardship
Nothing fit to keep is left, and it is not a romp.
