Rebecca (2020) presents a visually lush but ultimately shallow retelling of a classic story. While the film is a feast for the eyes with its sumptuous settings and costumes, it struggles to capture the depth and the psychological nuance of the original novel. The performances, particularly by Lily James and Kristin Scott Thomas, are strong, but the film’s pacing and emotional engagement lag, making it less gripping than anticipated.
