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.

Netflix remade _Rebecca_ into a plucky heroine romance, the director has completely changed the genre from the novel. Why take a banging Gothic/psychological thriller and turn it in to a boilerplate romance? Complete opposite of Daphne du Maurier's book, which is filled with mystery, tension, and a chilling eeriness. There is nothing here. This just feels boring, anticlimatic, dull, and overall emotionless. No chemistry between Armie Hammer and Lily James, there's nothing good to say about either of their performances.

_Rebecca_ will probably be forgotten by the turn of the year, just like all Netflix films.

@cutecruel ... i think in this case you'll prefer more _Rebecca_ of Alfred Hitchcock out of the year 1940 with _Laurence Olivier_ and _Joan Fortaine_... 80(!) years ago! i highly recommend this version :)

@cutecruel That sucks, but as for the chemistry, they didn't have it in the book, either.

This film takes far too long to get going. Lily James and Armie Hammer have no chemistry either. Skip.

Why remake Rebecca again when Phantom Thread exist?

Not enough ghosts and too many whack jobs... The story was the real problem here. While it always kept us guessing, the only real suspense was if there would be any suspense [spoiler alert: there wasn't]. Shame really, it was a waste of decent cinematography.

Silly Cinderella covers up a murder (which may not have been) on her Prince Charming's ex-wife. A bit of a spoiler because it's a waste of time.

Looked amazing, story started interesting, but by the end it was boring a bit messy, i feel like they were between genres which is not a problem but got messy. Worths a watch.

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.
