David S @davescott 4 days ago I don't really understand the low ratings for this film. Its a difficult watch to begin with but it is a high stress story. Although it is an adaption of the original book rather than a faithful recreation, the film evolves as do the characters into some great storytelling. It does feel as though the events of the second half of the film moves a little too fast and it switches up a gear quite suddenly rather than slowly accelerating but that would be my major criticism. The casting, screenplay and acting are brilliant. A highly recommended adaption of a classic. See more Pablo A @Alonzo0116 Sep 2, 2026 Movie is stressful. Dont waste your time. See more MICHAEL D @madjr59 Jul 4, 2026 The movie is pretty. There is enormous departure from du Maurier's novel and this hurts the presentation fatally. You have to wonder what Wheatley was thinking. See more Laura H. @Fairytalemaker Jun 21, 2026 Loved this modern retelling of a classic. Slick and stylish. The leads are charmingly in a tortured love triangle . Kristin Scott Thomas is beautifully wicked. Manderlay is gorgeous. It doesn’t follow the book’s love affair with the house, but I feel the visual impact was enough to give viewers the sense of its grandeur. And the malevolent presence of Rebecca.

I havent read the book and dont remember much about the original film, so I didnt have any prejudice about what the film "should be". In contrast to negative reviews, I really liked that the film wasnt overwrought or melodramatic. Staying slightly understated gave it a simmering suspense that I thought was very well done. I'm glad I didnt read the reviews first or I would have missed out on a very good film. See more Sally C @Sally1968 Mar 10, 2026 If you haven’t read the book, this movie would be OK. If you have read the book you’ll be questioning why they took a perfectly good story and changed just about everything in it. They’re also missing the most important character in the book—Mandalay. Du Maurier took great pains describing the house and the grounds and how the second wife was experiencing it. By the time you’re done reading the book, Mandalay is a living, breathing entity. This movie doesn’t capture that at all, nor the inexplicable grief Maxim would’ve had when he saw its destruction. See more Read all reviews
