Review of The Beguiled (2017) by Private U — 22 Jul 2017
Quietly, moodily, and reservedly crafted, "The Beguiled" depicts a story of seven women living in a boarding school, insulated from the outside world three years into the American Civil war in Virginia.
When a wounded male soldier came into the picture, allowed entrance and sojourn in the boarding school to recover, the fabric of the women's lives were disturbed. Sexuality was roused, and prospects of friendship and love were esteemed.
Yet, ultimately, it was jealousy and the unfathomable mind of women which, compounded in a small society, unwittingly resulted to group-think, that in order to somehow restore perhaps their stability, the women ended up condemning and beguiling the male soldier as a consequence to merit their flaws, weaknesses and foibles.
