MY COUSIN RACHEL
Director: Roger Michell
imdb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4411596/?ref_=nv_sr_1)
Mild nay for me. Score would drop further without Rachel Weisz. I don't know if my problem stems from the source novel or it's an adaptation issue, where director Roger Michell doesn't balance between mystery and romance well (so it's tipping too much into the latter so the former suffers), but the ending retroactively makes the story feel thinner, instead of being cathartically clarifying. Weisz is great though, serving as the magnetic fulcrum between mystery and romance well, while never being less than a fully developed character in her own right through all that uncertainty. 5.5/10
