Seek Vengeance With These ‘Beguiled’ Reaction GIFs

Vengeful bitches, this one’s for you

by NYLON x Focus Features

Sofia Coppola's new movie The Beguiled is a tour de force of willpower and survival. It's a rich portrait of fierce feminity and resilience that shakes you up with inspiration to grab life by the horns and make something of it. Through stellar performances from Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning, The Beguiled highlights the fragile masculinity of Colin Farrell's Colonel John McBurney. How quickly his appreciation for the women and girls at the all-girls school wanes after they do what's necessary to save his life. His belief that these women need a man's touch to maintain order and his outrage that they can survive without him tests his sense of self. What ensues is a textured look at patriarchy smashing, replete with perfect .GIFable moments to highlight your very own quest to assert your power and gain an equal seat at the table, because hell truly hath no fury like a woman (or group of women) scorned.  

When you're being mansplained to...

When you have to get the girls together for a day of vengeance...

When that vengeance has you all bothered...

When you suspect someone's out there sleuthing and snitching...

When you gotta use that intrigue to get ahead of the game...

When you're so close to your goal, but so far...

When you realize the power you possess and the ability to wield it in surprising, unexpected ways...

When that mischief is managed...
