Critics Consensus

Ben Wheatley's Rebecca remake is ravishing to behold, but it never quite gets to the heart of the classic source material -- or truly justifies its own existence.

Sarah R

What was an interesting, suspenseful book with hints of psychological thriller in it became a vapid, rushed, and bland movie that sapped two hours of my life. If you like your movies to stick to the plot of your books, avoid this.

Not bad but a bunch of ridiculous and unreal events kind of ruined it for me. Women might like it.

Sensational retelling of the classic novel. Lily James is the star here, and the movie is a phenomenal thriller of chilling proportions. Forget Armie Hammer, Lily James and Kristen Scott-Thomas shine here. Giving a fresh take on the story of the new Mrs De Winter, who has to contend with (in a nutshell) the villainous housekeeper and the ghost of her predecessor, Lily James breathes life into the role and the tone, the ambience, the eerieness of Manderely is on full display. A fantastic set-piece, it does not disappoint from start to finish.

I watched this shortly after it came out and recently I've watched it again. I find it weird that it only got 38% from viewers. Is this only in comparison to the older version or the novel? I loved it. So suspenseful that the second time I watched it, even though I knew the outcome, I still had to take breaks to let the tension dissipate. maybe it's because I avoid action movies so I'm not used to fast pacing. If you've read the novel, you know that it's much slower than this film. I tried recently to read it but the opening is such a long detailed description of the gardens at Manderlay that I couldn't get past it.4.5 stars

Lily James was great, good character development, good screenplay and great costumes and scenery. Do not understand others' low opinion. We enjoyed it.

This is a melodramatic tale of class disparity and imposter syndrome and compulsive jealousy and explosive fury, and the execution here is just ... tepid. Lukewarm.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Overall, it's a highly polished and consistently enjoyable watch that feels a little hemmed in by convention.

Rated: 3/5

This dreary, garish take on Rebecca never justifies its presence.

Rebecca has multiple flaws, ones that can certainly prevent you from enjoying this classic tale. It goes without saying that the original is better in nearly every way.

Rebecca feels sanded out, erased of all imperfection, identity and mystery.

The casting is not the Wheatley Rebecca’s biggest problem, but it certainly doesn’t help.
