“Coppola has made a swift, gorgeous chamber thriller, an efficient and refreshingly straightforward film that crackles with wicked humor.” (Vanity Fair)

“Sofia Coppola’s film is told with surgical precision and savage grace.” (IndieWire)

The newest feature from the acclaimed director and recent Palme d’Or recipient, Sofia Coppola, is a steamy atmospheric thriller that unfolds in Virginia during the Civil War. Corporal John McBurney (Colin Farrell, The Lobster, The New World) is a Union soldier on the run after sustaining an injury in battle. He seeks refuge at an all girls boarding school where the teachers and students seem more than willing to help, but as they tend to his wounds, the house is overtaken by sexual tension and dangerous rivalries form. Featuring an all-star cast, including Nicole Kidman (Lion, HBO’s Big Little Lies), Kirsten Dunst (Melancholia, Hidden Figures), and Elle Fanning (20th Century Women, 3 Generations), The Beguiled is a tale of seduction and violence “laced with a potent cocktail of toxic comedy and pungent desire” (VOX).
