_Rebecca_ is Hitchcock's fourth best film in my opinion. The film is a technical masterpiece by Hitchcock. Based on Daphne du Maurier's 1938 classic, this adaptation focuses on the youth of Mrs. De Winter in her attempts to gain "culture" at her new home Manderly. The film is really all about sex, and the incredibly sexist attitudes of the men towards Mrs. de Winter. Worth watching because of the performances of Olivier, Fontaine and especially Judith Anderson.

I'm a huge Hitchcock fan and other than Vertigo and Psycho, Rebecca has to be one of my top favorite movies by him. It has everything Alfred Hitchcock's particular style has, the thrills, great casts, mystery that makes the audience keep changing their viewpoint on who is truly the "bad" guy in the movie. If you love classics and especially Hitchcock, this is a film you must see.

This movie will test the patience of modern audiences (and even Hitchcock fans that only know his greatest hits) but it's a very rewarding film.

A great mystery story. Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine are both really good. Can be a little slow at times but picks up in the second half. Holds up well for an almost 80 year old movie.

Terrible movie, almost fell asleep. Bad acting too.

Paco cinema : Image 4.25 / 5 Sound 3.5 / 5. "Last night I dreamed I was returning to Manderlys ..." Great movie, actors and address, all ...

The women in this are fantastic: Joan Fontaine's performance is masterful, a study in externalizing palpable tension. And Judith Anderson, of course, is deliciously unhinged as the woman with an unnamed relationship with the former Mrs. de Winter. I was struck on this repeat viewing by the cinematography, which was gorgeous throughout. It loses a slight bit of tension right at the very end for me, but this is still one of my very favorite Hitchcocks.

It’s fine, but way to slow for most of the runtime. This could easily be 40 minutes shorter. The twist is not surprising at all, but the movie only becomes interesting after that moment.

The most claustrophobic film by the brilliant director.

Rebecca is a story with many twists, but its pace is so slow that they lack real excitement. The performances are great, and the film is praiseworthy - just don't watch it late at night and have caffeine at the ready.

I’m obsessed with the long tracking shot in the cabin when Max describes the moment of Rebecca’s death as if her ghost was being filmed and we just couldn’t see it. This film is perfectly filled with dramatics and mystery, its dialogues and settings allowing you to get lost in 1940s magic for a couple of hours. Great watch, and Hitchcock is brilliant at making the most of the story as always.

P.S.: Watched this for a deep dive I’m doing on Queer Coded characters and Mrs. Danvers suffered the same fate as they all did back then, but she was actually not as evil and obsessed as I had read. I don’t know if I am just projecting, but I only saw her as someone who respected and loved Rebecca in the most dedicated way. Of course in the end she went mad but only hurt herself and no one else. I guess for all its worth, I expected way worse for a lesbian coded character in 1940s Hollywood cinema.

I liked the 2020 remake more.
