Rachel Weisz helps bring an erotic charge to Victorian melodrama.

- MY COUSIN RACHEL directed by Roger Michell

My Cousin Rachel, This Beautiful Fantastic, All Eyez on Me, Rough Night

‘ Did she? Didn’t she? Who’s to blame?” These whispered questions open this bold and treacherou­s period piece adapted from Daphne du Maurier’s 1951 novel of the same name and directed by the man behind Notting Hill.

Doing the wondering is Philip (Sam Claflin), orphaned as a boy and adopted by his cousin Ambrose into a modest Cornwall country manor staffed by grubby male servants.
