Review of The Beguiled (2017) by Moviemitch96 — 05 Jul 2017

Had much better potential considering the talent assembled onscreen, but this so-called "thriller" is bogged down by a rather slow burn of a story, as well as stupid decisions made by some of the characters halfway through the film.

I really don't have much else to say on this one other than I feel bad that Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning all wasted their time with this wonderfully and often times intriguingly shot, yet overall bore of a film.

I really need to stop giving Sofia Coppola the benefit of the doubt every time she makes a new film, because as far as I'm concerned, Lost in Translation is still her only good film to date, but that was nearly fifteen years ago, so.
