@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.

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.
