What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Beguiled adds just enough extra depth to its source material to set itself apart, and director Sofia Coppola's restrained touch is enlivened by strong performances from the cast.

Coppola has inverted the old order of sexploitation and Farrell has been reduced to a sex object. He just looks like a very happy one. Go to Full Review

The Beguiled is well worth seeing but it's also just as worthy of being taken to task for its shortcomings. Go to Full Review

The Beguiled has a strong story to tell. Unfortunately, it's too wrapped up in Sofia Coppola's naïveté and hubris to be anything more. Go to Full Review
Megan Fisher Loud and Clear Reviews Jan 11
3.5/5
The Beguiled is a mood piece, an exercise in style and atmosphere by one of the great living visual storytellers. Go to Full Review
Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 02/16/2024
3/5
Methodically and dastardly, the film wishes to seduce us with a heightened intrigue of challenged sexual repression. Go to Full Review
Benedict Seal Vague Visages 12/05/2023
The Beguiled plays out exactly as one might expect and never really stretches beyond its contained premise. That being said, Coppola makes full use of the scenario in terms of feminist commentary and critique, and the film looks genuinely stunning. Go to Full Review

andy l Dec 9 absolute garbage. just stick to the original with Clint Eastwood. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jan 28 Filme fraco, o roteiro é ruim, esse filme é quase igual a Maria antonieta só que esse filme é mais chato e mais ruim, o filme não traz nada de interessante, nem a porra do nome do filme é legal, vai toma no cu, essa Sofia coppola não faz um filme foda vai se fude. See more Everard H 07/12/2024 Unfortunately this was a random pick on a random night. I can't get back the last hour and a half watching a bunch of teenage girls swoon over a crippled man. The story was dry and left a lot to be desired. The actors should fire there managers for even considering this script. Sigh.... See more Dani G 05/27/2024 It seemed a little boring in the surface, but it managed to get me ---just a little--- invested in it. More than most of Sofia's films, with the exception of her masterpiece (...Translation) See more Jordan B 03/03/2024 The solid acting from the excellent cast assembled for this film is unable to save it from itself. There is a clear line of ridiculousness that is crossed, despite the naivete of both the characters and the time period. There are moments where you can't help but think to yourself 'Really? She's obviously smart, but she's so desperate for love that she's falling for this nonsense?'. See more mogan d 01/19/2024 Horribly boring story.. it had so much potential too... I dont understand the hype with Sophia Coppola See more Read all reviews
