🌒 Rebecca (2020) — Film Adaptation Review A Beautiful Stranger in the Halls of Manderley by D.M. of Ivy & Ink “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again…”— Daphne du Maurier The 2020 Netflix adaptation of Rebecca, directed by Ben Wheatley and starring Lily James and Armie Hammer, invites us once more into the shadows of Manderley — though this time, the shadows seem a little softer, the ghosts a bit more dressed for daylight.

Visually stunning, but the soul of Rebecca lives in the book. The film enchants, but the novel haunts. Read first—then watch.

To anyone now looking to scratch the #RebeccaNetflix itch of a story featuring a drab spinster nobody who impulsively marries a secretive man with a nice house in an isolated spot... (and I cannot overstate this): The. Blue. Castle.
(Shiny lush adaptation, please?)

Well, that was distinctly underwhelming. #RebeccaNetflix

I do love books where none of the events of the plot would ever happen if only characters just talked to each other.

‘Man confesses to wife that his first wife was a bit of a bitch. The end.’ #RebeccaNetflix

Kristin Scott-Thomas is deliciously creepy though - now, she is perfect casting. #RebeccaNetflix

Watching the new Rebecca on Netflix. It’s a bit heavy-handed. And lovely as he is, Armie Hammer is far too young and golden to be Maxim. #RebeccaNetflix
