What happens

Rebecca is a 2020 British romantic thriller film directed by Ben Wheatley from a screenplay by Jane Goldman, Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse. Based on the 1938 novel Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, the film stars Lily James, Armie Hammer, Kristin Scott Thomas, Keeley Hawes, Ann Dowd, and Sam Riley. The film is about the intrigues that arise after a young woman marries a wealthy widower whose memory of his first wife, Rebecca, overshadows them both. The film was released in select theatres on 16 October 2020, and digitally on Netflix five days later. It received negative reviews from critics, who compared the film unfavourably to the 1940 version directed by Alfred Hitchcock. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
