Fatale

My Cousin Rachel

Crit

For a Hitchcock wannabe, a good place to turn for source material is the fiction of Daphne du Maurier, who provided the sources of Rebecca and The Birds (and yeah, OK, also Jamaica Inn). And it's fair to say that Hitch made a lot of films worse than this one (cf. 3rd du Maurier title above), adapted and directed by Roger Michell, and it's also accurate to observe that Rachel Weisz has everything it takes to be a mysterious Hitchcockian maybe-heroine-maybe-villain.

And yet . . . kinda meh.
