VIDEO : Sofia Coppola's, 'The Beguiled' Reviewed

Written and directed by Sofia Coppola, The Beguiled is adapted from the 1966 Southern Gothic novel written by Thomas P. Cullinan, which was originally published with the title A Painted Devil. Coppola puts her own spin on the source material with her direction and condensing of the core group of characters. Though an only decent adaptation, The Beguiled is deftly directed by Coppola, giving room for the cast to shine in their performances.
