The Beguiled (2017)

The Beguiled is, of course, a remake of the 1971 film of the same name, so writing a review of it without a complete understanding of the original is inherently difficult.

I have not seen the original.

Therefore, the closest thing I can compare this to is a two-hour-long dramatic Southern-Gothic retelling of the Galahad/Tower of Virgins scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

This is not the highest ratio of “ridiculous premise” to “high production value and quality acting” I have seen.

But I had to think about that.

Dinner Recommendation: 

A cheese plate. But quality cheese.
