An enormously well made film based on Daphne DuMaurier's novel. The script, acting, direction, and plot are almost perfect. This very suspenseful movie was made for adults who appreciate a well made film.
No special effects, no bloody murders, no juvenile humor etc. The key to this film's sucess is the pacing of the script. The film slowly, but arfully, builds suspense from the first scene to the last. Rachel Weicz turns in a great performance along with Sam Claflin who will be a rising dramatic film star. One of the bset films of 2017 along with "Maudie" and "I, Daniel Blake". I hate to say it but the British and a few Canadian film makers are making the best films. I prefer the depth of well constructed dramas to movies based on comic books and cartoons that rely far too much on special effects and blood and gore. These films that I recommend really require a IQ above 90!
