You never see Rebecca throughout the movie, yet she captivates you as the audience for the most part. Her beauty, wits and most importantly how she had managed to admire so many people all at once while maintaining her solemnity with everyone except her husband. Without going into too much depth, this movie will captivate you, confuse you and still manage to not deprive you of the very curiosity you will crave for. But a vintage masterpiece you shouldn't pass by. There are some scenes however which I felt could have been dealt with in greater detail, but considering this is an old classic, one must realize there are some things better not to expect. Enjoy it as is. 8/10

I had the pleasure of catching this movie on Netflix after almost 13+ years. I was only 14 the last time my cousin, sister and I had sat together one warm summer afternoon and watched this on HBO. After that I didn't remember the name of the movie, just knew enough to know that Meryl Streep was in it. The movie made a mark on my childhood, I was deeply engrossed by the mystical capabilities on Streep. Her poignance and courage in the movie paved the way for much of the artsy feeling I enjoyed.

Years later I still love the movie, frankly because it brought back memories of my childhood and I got a chance to relive it all.
