Brilliant and touching
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Slow moving with a ending that was unexpected.Holliday Grainger was good, but underused in the film.
I was looking forward to Daphne Du Maurier Rachel come to life on the big screen. I am a fan of Rachel Weiz and her work and I thought she was a great choice for the role but though their were some key elemants from the book there was nothing added in its place and the film just left me wanting more and not in a good way.
I'm not sure if I have rated this correctly because I have only watched half of this and I already needed a break. I'll watch the rest later.Rachel Weisz is pretty good, but I still prefer Olivia de Havilland. Olivia didn't seem to have as much emotion and she came across, to me anyway, more of an enigma that Rachel. Comparing the two Phillip's. What can I say? Richard Burton, in my opinion, was pretty much of a overacting scenery chewer. I don't think that is was all that, but many people. Sam Claflin is very non descript. And, really, when is the stubble look going to finally end for men? Either grow it out or shave it. This movie is set in about the 1850's. Stubble was not a fashion then. It was huge sideburns, a moustache or a beard. Usually, it as all three. Whoever directed this, did not get that detail right. The women rock, the men don't.
