My Cousin Rachel

— This is a nice reminder of what good, moody, period pieces were like and, based on a Daphne du Maurier novel, it has exactly the right feel including, of course, a good-sized country estate with moors in the background. The script, direction, and acting all fit the spirit of the story well and it was nice enough to watch, even intriguing at times although familiar enough that you weren’t always surprised by some of the plot twists and ambiguities. Forgetting a rather unsatisfying end, it was a good diversion and if you like romantic thrillers, its worth seeing. It may also be worth checking out the earlier version with Olivia de Havilland and Richard Burton.
