Storyline

- TriviaJust as in the book and the previous movie adaptation, Rebecca (1940) by Alfred Hitchcock, the new Mrs De Winter is never given either a first name or maiden name, whilst the late Mrs De Winter is constantly referred to by hers.
- Goofs(at around 1h 35 mins) Jack Favell blackmails Maxim with a note allegedly containing an invitation from Rebecca to meet up on the night of her death. However, the note is undated, so there is nothing that links it to the events of that particular day.

I did raise an eyebrow when I heard that Armie Hammer had been cast as Maxim, but I felt he did a decent job, it gives me hope for his upcoming part in Death on the Nile.
The standout for me was Kristin Scott Thomas, she was a fearsome Mrs Danvers, very impressive.
The film itself, very stylish, and had some good moments. If I'm totally honest, I was a tad disappointed, I think the pacing was a bit off, it perhaps felt a bit rushed at the ending.
A few reviewers calling for no remakes, and yes the 1940 adaptation is the ultimate, but come on, many of us love seeing a retelling. However, if you haven't seen the adaptation with Olivier and Fontaine, I urge you to, it captures the atmosphere beautifully.
Overall, it's a good watch, maybe it's the sinister atmosphere that's perhaps lacking. 6/10.
