Synopsis:
The story unfolds during the Civil War, at a Southern girls’ boarding school. Its sheltered young women take in an injured enemy soldier.
As they provide refuge and tend to his wounds, the house is taken over with sexual tension and dangerous rivalries, and taboos are broken in an unexpected turn of events.
Thoughts:
This remake of the 1971 film of the same name, starring Clint Eastwood, does a great job at drawing you in and keeping you on your toes as to the direction things will ultimately take. But it’s the unintentional comedic moments that take you out again – all too often as they film draws builds to its conclusion.
Rating:
6/10
