A Romantic-Drama ,adaptations of a Novel by the same name by Daphne du Maurier that was published in 1951.

the story, Philip (Sam Claflin) upon hearing the news of his cousins death and suspecting his late cousin’s wife Rachel (Rachel Weisz) to be the culprit, plans to confront her and plot revenge. Philip was an orphan and was brought up by his cousin to whom he was very close too. thus when he meets Rachel for the first time he is conflicted as he is smitten to her charm and beauty, but she is still a suspect in his cousins demise. with every interaction they have every Philip keeps on falling in love with her. his starts taking drastic actions because of his love, even when others around him keep telling him to stop, and when finally Philip confesses Rachael she never love him and they cant ever be. this causes Philip to get into alcohol to ease his pains. this is the time when previously forgotten doubt about his cousin death comes back to him, he becomes paranoid and decides to get her killed and find the evidence. he does succeeds in killing but not in finding the evidence, thus forever get haunted for his choice about Rachael.

the movies tries to keep the audience on a tip-toe (not to does who have read the original novel it is based off) whether or not Rachel was a culprit in Philip’s condition or his cousins death. the movies keeps giving us hints that lead to either conclusion, but ends a in a bit ambiguous manner so that the audience would have to decide for themselves.

Rachel Weisz‘s acting was good in this movie and she did sell the character to the audience, in a manner that we couldn’t be ever sure what her true interests were. the pace of the movie itself is kept fast to prevent dulling the tension and keep the audience guessing.

this is a good movie, maybe not exceptional but nonetheless good to watch rating it 5/10.
