If you can accept the slow-as-molasses pace early on, The Beguiled is a truly beguiling piece of artistically-crafted entertainment.

The film is beautifully shot, with costumes and scenery that embodies the deep south.

Attractive to look at, so much so that it becomes hard to see the film for its narrative. Read more

Poses a moral question about the fine line between danger and delusion, struggling to justify its bitter finale yet revelling in every second of it.

Despite its high-quality inputs this film is more about form than substance. It has not risen to its potential. Read more

The cast is good, and they probably elevate the source material, which seems a bit trite.

The Beguiled’s biggest problem is that it’s too simple and, at points, noticeably dull.

There aren’t many twists and turns, which would have amped the film up a little, and it felt stale for a lot of the time. Read more

De veelzijdigheid van de vrouw, dat is wat The Beguiled laat zien. Haar (ver)zorgende natuur enerzijds, het jaloerse loeder anderzijds. Read more

Moet doorgaan als nieuwe interpretatie van de novelle, maar is na de eerdere film uit 1971 toch vooral overbodig te noemen. Read more
