Review of My Cousin Rachel (2017) by Farah R — 11 Aug 2018

For those who love period films, this is one for you! But for other Finesse fans, you've been warn in advanced. My Cousin Rachel is a thriller that is in no rush to tell its dramatic story. In fact, I would go as far to say it's a slow burner until the end credits. A large majority of the film's duration is simply raising the same questions over and over, going back and forth. Sadly, not all your questions are even answered by the end of the film's credits. My Cousin Rachel is a thriller that feels like it goes in the wrong direction. The plot on paper gave me hope for something new and creative and was held back by frustrating core characters and a story that drags by ever so slowly. Major credit goes out to Rachel Wiez as she provides a great performance that has been missed.
