Review of The Beguiled (2017) by Michael Z — 27 Sep 2017
I echo all the negative reviews of this terrible remake, the bad acting, the glacial pace, the stripping away of all the interesting backstory etc... with one other major criticism. This was the worst lit film I have seen in recent history.
It's as if Coppola was determined to imitate Stanley Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" and light her entire movie only with candle light. Forcing your viewers to struggle to just see is an arrogant self indulgence which shows contempt for your audience.
A better title for this waste of time would have been "The Bedarked.".
