The Beguiled (out Jul 13) is set in 1864 during the midst of the American Civil War. An injured soldier is taken in a group of women running a seminary in rural Virginia. There are mind games aplenty here and the character interaction is terrific. Still, it's a little on the slow side in places. Grade: B+.
