So Rebecca follows the whirlwind romance and and subsequent complications of Mr. Maxim De Winter (Armie Hammer - I know 😬😖) and his new wife (Lily James). This film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name, and follows the new Mrs. De Winter as she attempts to fill the shoes of the mysterious, alluring, and tragically deceased late Mrs. Rebecca De Winter.
This film is a beautiful period piece with fabulous cinematography, and very textured settings. It's kind of a slow burn, and definitely takes you on a ride. However, I felt that the pacing was very stunted, and alternated wildly between sprinting and walking painfully slow. The mystery of the story is doled out carefully, and the tidbits the film gives you make you work for them in patience for sure.
Although this film has been generally panned online, I actually kind of enjoyed it. May have been because I set the bar pretty low, but it was still an enjoyable experience.
A word of warning - don't let the trailer fool you. This is not a psychological thriller mystery - although it certainly has its moments. It's more a frantic and super tragic love story, where you just feel bad for Lily James because *nobody is nice to her at all* which is super tragic.
All in all, 7/10 - would recommend if you're interested, but wouldn't try to make you watch it if you didn't want to.
