	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"The enigmatic antiheroine has never been as seductive, cunning or deliciously ambiguous as she is in the hands of Rachel Weisz (...) It’s pure pleasure to watch Weisz as Rachel"	POS
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Handsome and richly atmospheric (...) There's enough dark sizzle between leads Rachel Weisz and Sam Claflin to keep the audience involved through the underpowered middle stretches"	POS
United Kingdom	Angie Errigo Empire	"Handsomely done but short on the atmosphere and passion of a genre classic. Michell is a safe pair of hands but it doesn’t grip tightly, while Claflin’s chemistry with Weisz fizzles (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"Two stellar performances revive the lesser-known Daphne Du Maurier psychological drama (...) There’s much twisting, churning, psychological mystery to be enjoyed here"	POS
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke Time Out	"This clever, well-acted adaptation (...) is possibly a little too elegant, all bonnets and breeches and puffy shirts, but it does nail the spirit of the novel (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"This Daphne du Maurier adaptation falls somewhere between trashy and classy — but either way, it should be more fun"	NEU
Australia	Louise Keller Urbancinefile	"[Michell] has crafted a visually beautiful film (...) We become bewitched by Rachel (Rachel Weisz) from the moment she comes to stay"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"An exceptionally persuasive performance by Rachel Weisz (...) A triumphant exercise in dark and delicious romantic ambiguity"	POS
