Review of The Beguiled (2017) by Sadiep — 03 Jul 2017
A little girl from a female finishing school comes across a wounded Union soldier (Collin Farrell) while in the woods picking mushrooms & brings him back to the school for medical help. There were 2 adult women & 5 young girls at the school & 3 became 'interested' in the soldier - it was not realistic & felt stupid.
The first 3/4 of the film was painfully slow, and boring, with no obvious plot or content to keep our attention .... then a story suddenly developed. I thought, 'well finally here we go, a story line' - nope, not really! It could have been really good but fell dead flat.
Nicole Kidman did an ok job, but really not much for her to do with her character & Kristen Dunst's character was simply a frustrated woman with no depth at all. Costuming & scenery was good but the film was mostly dark.
