Rebecca

'Some people seem perfectly happy alone, while others just need someone to pass the time with. It doesn't matter who.' - Mrs. de Winter

I put off watching this for months because I thought it would be worse than it was. I loved the styling and consume choices and Lily James was definitely the perfect choice to play the new Mrs Dr Winter..There were a few points where I was bored or felt a little lost within the plot but I do think this is a decent movie. If you are someone that likes a slow burn but ambient film then you may like this.

I very much liked this movie. I saw both this and Hitchcock's movie and thought that this version looks more Hitchcockian than Hitchcock's own movie!

I feel like this movie was trying to be more than it actually was. Like they couldn't really choose what genre it should be so it was a bit all over the place. It was still entertaining to watch and I liked the cast and their performances; it was a bit of a dissapointment though.

Its been years since I saw Hitchcock's Rebecca so I can't compare the two. But taken on its own merit, this is a reasonably good film. The actors were good, the story was intriguing, and it looked good. A change of pace for Wheatley but a worthy one.

What a crazy film. It was hard watching someone you're rooting for just be stomped on over and over again. There are some really interesting elements in the film but it is definitely a bit all over the place. The movie felt like it was 2 hours long, which is something that you dont notice in some films.

The protagonist is a woman working as a companion for an old rich lady when one day the lady suggests that she be seated with Mr. De Winters, a rich widower who is holidaying in France. Protag catches his eye and they start a whirlwind romance eventually marrying to stop the lady from taking protag with her to New York. Back at the Manderley estate there are remnants of De Winters deceased wife everywhere, and now protag feels like she will never fill the shoes of the deceased wife.

This movie throws struggle after struggle at the protagonist who seems to constantly suffer at each point and breaks down in tears. She is manipulated by almost everyone around her, gaslighted, bullied and psychologically abused and through this she never seems to grow until the final arc of the movie. I admit that the unravelling of the mysteries were really good and looking back so many of the reactions of characters make sense in a different light and are much more chilling.

I liked the dynamic between the two protagonists. It sas obviously a bit strained and way too stressful. I did feel like it was all a bit over the top, but I think it was worth a watch. The music is pretty decent, maybe a bit too loud compared to the volume of the rest of the film.

Yes i liked to watch *** Lily James did an empathy job *** while deeply watching i recognized her unique gestures and extraordinarily facial expressions! really nice performance! i also liked the turn from romance to melodramatic scenes and back to Love *** the winner is #Love ♡

It's been like four days since I've seen this movie and I can't really remember it LMAO, so take that how you will. I haven't seen the Oscar winner or read the book, so I was flying in blind— I think that's why I was able to enjoy it as much as I did. That, and I think Lily James and Armie Hammer are very pretty people to look at ~respectfully~... The movie seems to jump around from genre to genre as it tries to unravel itself for the gothic horror it wants to be, and it's kind of a fun roller coaster, but it's a pretty slow one. How does a slow roller coaster even work...I don't know.

This movie definitely plays out like a soap opera. There's a ton of pieces missing, but if you're willing and open to do it, you can easily get invested in the characters and gasp at every dramatic little thing, filling in the gaps yourself. I think Lily James was absolutely amazing in her role as a timid naive middle-class girl, and Kristin Scott Thomas was fun as the antagonist; I'd say at some points she almost manages to touch the nerve that Dolores Umbridge sets aflame, HA. Worse than Voldemort, that one is. Did I like this movie? For sure! Would I rec this movie? Meeeehhhh. HAHA.

Lily James and Armie Hammer star in the Netflix thriller Rebecca. When a young woman catches the eye of a wealthy widower they have a whirlwind romance and are soon married, but she discovers that his former wife casts a long shadow and begins to suspect that something sinister is going on. James gives a strong performance and has good chemistry with Hammer. And the writers are quite effective at creating intrigue and at building tension. Additionally, director Ben Wheatley impressively sets a noir-ish tone that heightens the material, and is aided by a solid musical score and well-crafted sets and costumes. Rebecca is an engaging film that has a compelling mystery with plenty of twists and turns.

Not really sure what to say. It was well made and the story is as expected and seems to be quite close to the one I remember.
Still somehow it was not as … thrilling/exciting as I’d expected.
