Es un placer ver el bello y elegante cine de los primeros tiempos de Hollywood, en lujosos decorados y con actores bien elegidos y estilizados que la historia. Ya no consigue cautivar como lo hizo en el momento de su creación, y solo aporta un velo de emoción al público con la revelación final de la verdad. Además, la posición ansiosa de la protagonista en la historia es más sentida por el público femenino que por el masculino. Para mí, Rebeca tiene que ver con el carisma de estrella de Laurence Olivier, el diseño y la atmósfera de la sombría mansión de Manderley y la negra silueta del misterioso ama de llaves en los interiores de largas cortinas. Es decir, elementos que Hitchock utilizó posteriormente en obras más significativas y, para mí, más importantes. [Noir Film Fest]

For a while I felt that Rebecca was being drawn out a little more than it needed to, but after the final half hour I found out that I actually don't know what I would cut from Rebecca, what I'd throw out... and mainly, why the hell would I do it? It's an engaging, mystery-saturated and astonishingly-looking story, in which you recognize Hitchcock in the opening dream (and confirm your presumption in the following clifftop scene), and you won't get rid of him until the end. Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine act perfectly, the atmosphere is beautifully unpredictable, and it all looks amazing - that arrival at Manderley in heavy rain, the view through the wiped front window of the automobile... So beautiful.

Rebecca is the first Hitchcock film I’ve ever seen. I am impressed with the director's genius because his use of light and music is amazing. Moreover, he manages the atmosphere perfectly (of course, this is not uncommon with Hitchcock, as I had already read somewhere). Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine are great cast members and give great performances. Anyway, I'm certainly going to start looking for more of his masterpieces very soon. The Birds and Vertigo are on my list. :)

In Hitchcock's Rebecca, the similarity of Du Maurier's novel to Brontë's seminal work "Jane Eyre" stands out. It's no coincidence that Joan Fontaine plays the lead roles in both of these Hollywood gothic novels shortly after each other. Unfortunately, neither she nor Olivier in Rebecca transcended the mannerisms of the time. The 90's series was also weak, but in some aspects, its dramatization was much more interesting than the script of the Hollywood all-star team. However, I'll try to give it another chance, for a change on Netflix.
