The Beguiled


The Beguiled is an atmospheric thriller from acclaimed writer/director Sofia Coppola. The story unfolds during the Civil War, at a Southern girls’ boarding school. Its sheltered young women take in an injured enemy soldier. As they provide refuge and tend to his wounds, the house is taken over with sexual tension and dangerous rivalries, and taboos are broken in an unexpected turn of events.

What a snoozer.  It was advertised as this creepy build up kind of movie but the payoff was beyond weak.  And honestly, the build up to it was nothing that you had not seen in the trailer.  Honestly, I felt like I had seen the entire movie already just by watching the commercial.  This is just another log on the fire of Sophia Coppola being so loved by critics and me not understanding why whatsoever.

I would not recommend anyone waste their time checking this out.  There really is no reason this was made or no point for you to take the 90 minutes to watch it.
