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.

The Beguiled | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Raphael Abraham Financial Times 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. Rated: 4/5 Oct 11, 2017 Full Review The Beguiled | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com The Beguiled is well worth seeing but it's also just as worthy of being taken to task for its shortcomings. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 22, 2017 Full Review The Beguiled | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Valerie Complex Odyssey 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. Rated: C- Jul 18, 2017 Full Review The Beguiled | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Methodically and dastardly, the film wishes to seduce us with a heightened intrigue of challenged sexual repression. Rated: 3/5 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review The Beguiled | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Benedict Seal Vague Visages 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. Dec 5, 2023 Full Review The Beguiled | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Fletcher Powell KMUW - Wichita Public Radio It’s the sort of movie you let wash over you. May 12, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Everard H 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.... Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Dani G 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) Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review Jordan B 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?'. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review mogan d Horribly boring story.. it had so much potential too... I dont understand the hype with Sophia Coppola Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review T.W. B A subpar remake what can you expect from a rich playgirl who bought her way into Hollywood Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Desi a such a good movie!!!! <3 Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
