What makes [My Cousin Rachel] so engaging is that the audience never quite knows who it's cheering for. Turns out being off-balance is pretty darn exhilarating.June 16, 2017
There's a sense of simmering rage beneath its fetching surfaces -- the ire of a woman who's been taught that acting in her own self-interest is a subversive act, but who senses freedom so close at hand.June 12, 2017
Unfortunately, both the film and the chemistry generated between Weisz and Claflin feel about as smoldering and lustful as a tub of margarine.June 22, 2017
It takes at least 15 minutes for Rachel Weisz to appear on screen, but when she does it is a quiet, contained event. Nonetheless, the effect of her face is a payoff akin to an explosion in an action movie.June 09, 2017
A gothic moodpiece masquerading as a thriller, My Cousin Rachel is a misdirected swoon of a movie-long on black-veiled romance and ravishing atmosphere and a little short, alas, on dividends.June 29, 2017
The film is gorgeous to look at, with a fine supporting cast of British actors etching indelible portraits, no matter how small the role. But it is Weisz's picture; she glows from within, only we're not sure if it's womanly warmth or hell-fire.June 29, 2017
Daphne du Maurier may not seem like the most relevant author to be plundering for a 21st Century film script, but this accomplished cinematic rendering proves her moody, slightly confusing, dark and desperately romantic tales still have their place.June 29, 2017
As a mid-twentieth century writer revisiting the 19th century, du Maurier played with tropes and archetypes, and in this adaptation, Rachel Weisz as the title character is a sight to behold.July 19, 2017
Underlying it all is a strongly feminist message about power, money and male fear of what might happen if a woman should gain possession of both - agreeably subversive stuff to find in a crowd-pleasing period drama.June 29, 2017
Throw in an impressive, imposing Cornish setting, sumptuous costuming and Rael Jones' atmospheric score and the result is a dark thriller that will haunt you for days.June 16, 2017
Did she? Didn't she? Much as I enjoyed My Cousin Rachel at times, by the end I was no longer sure that I particularly cared.June 09, 2017
moody, mind-bending
