Reviews
|
IndieWire -
The Beguiled is a lurid, sweltering, and sensationally fun potboiler that doesn’t find Coppola leaving her comfort zone so much as redecorating it with a fresh layer of soft-core scuzz.
|
|
Screen International -
The film consistently works as both a straightforward psychosexual thriller and something more troubling — almost unspoken — underneath.
|
|
The Film Stage -
Coppola and her production team — including The Grandmaster cinematographer Philippe Le Sourd — have created a fully realized world of eroticism, humidity, and Southern Gothic atmosphere. The characters are simply engulfed by it, almost to the point that even the twisted willow trees appear to be reaching out to grab them.

CineVue -
It has a powdery dryness, a sly wit which is indeed beguiling.
|
|
The Guardian -
Coppola tells the story with terrific gusto and insouciant wit, tying together images from the first scene and the last, so that the narrative satisfyingly snaps shut.
