Review of The Beguiled (2017) by Jluis_001 — 05 Sep 2017

Be nice to women and they'll be nice to you, cross them and you will have a huge problem in your hands.

That's a lesson well learned in The Beguiled where Sofia Coppola makes the same mistake she made with The Bling Ring and once again directs a film in which she shows her quality as a filmmaker on front of a weak script.

The film stands out because with the little things offered by the plot, Coppola manages to give a sustained rhythm but unfortunately you realize very soon that the film will only advance on the repetition of situations and in a certain way that aspect becomes a narrative burden because you discover very soon towards where everything is going and what eventually will unleash the conclusion which in my opinion took many points from the film in general.

And you also quickly notice the weakness of the story when it unbelievably limits three actresses like Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning and also turns Colin Farrell into a simple man without any sort of character development.

It was good but nothing out of the ordininary.
