I watched 2020's
Rebecca sequel on Netflix.
Eh.
Not for me.
Forced dream sequences, CGI spectacle, Lily James playing Mrs Winter more like Rebecca in the latter half of the movie, Armie Hammer exuding none of the charm or dark humor of Laurence Olivier as Maxim.
Remember in the original when Olivier played off the broken statue confrontation with Mrs Danvers as if he finds it hilarious that his wife was so scared of her? Well, Armie Hammer just plays it stiff and cold in the remake. Sorry but differences like this really irritate me.
Best performances in the movie are by Sam Riley and Kristin Scott-Thomas.
My 1 and a half stars out of 5 are due to their two performances and the nice cinematography.
