EmpireAngie ErrigoJun 8, 2017
Handsomely done but short on the atmosphere and passion of a genre classic. Read full review

The New York TimesManohla DargisJun 8, 2017
It’s all very pretty, but too often the movie’s beauty isn’t tethered to deep feeling or strong ideas, one reason you may often find your eyes and thoughts drifting away from the quietly escalating drama toward the vast green fields, the majestic horses and nice detail work. Read full review

The TelegraphTim RobeyJun 8, 2017
The story’s insistent ambiguities ought to make it seductively complex, but it never quite shakes off a stuck-in-the-mud vibe. Read full review

New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottJun 8, 2017
That's no small thing: to leave viewers with unanswered questions but still make them satisfied they've gotten a full movie experience. But there it is. Read full review

What’s missing from this production is the darkness — the perversity, even — that informs du Maurier’s work, and that would elevate an attractively illustrated story into aesthetically and psychologically vivid cinema. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonJun 8, 2017
It doesn’t help that Weisz and Claflin have zero chemistry, and both come across as miscast. She lacks the aura of mystery that her character requires, and he’s woefully low on the charisma required of a romantic hero. Read full review

The PlaylistKevin JagernauthJun 7, 2017
For all the strong performances and able filmmaking, My Cousin Rachel never quite coheres. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenJun 14, 2017
My Cousin Rachel 2017 retreads du Maurier’s luscious mix of Gothic trappings and psychological mystery, but it’s a wan concoction that’s never fully convincing or engaging. Read full review
