Review of Rebecca (2020) by Joe Morgenstern for Wall Street Journal — 22 Oct 2020
Instead of growing from a sweet young thing into a strong woman who is Maxim’s equal, this bride stays scared and vulnerable until close to the end, when the script turns her implausibly into a sort of Nancy Drew doing detective work for the husband she adores.
Who could have guessed that the film with a modern perspective on gender politics was the one made 80 years ago?
