My Cousin Rachel

My Cousin Rachel (2017) is a gothic period drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Roger Michell from Daphne du Maurier's novel. A young Englishman is convinced his enigmatic cousin poisoned the man who raised him.

Ambrose, who brought Philip up as his own, sails to Italy for his health, marries a distant relative named Rachel and dies soon after under murky circumstances. Sam Claflin plays the heir who returns to his Cornish estate burning for revenge. Then Rachel arrives. Played by Rachel Weisz with cool, unreadable charm, she is nothing like the schemer he imagined, and his hatred starts to curdle into something far more dangerous. The deeper he falls, the less he can tell whether she is a slandered widow or a patient killer.

The whole film balances on a single question it refuses to answer outright: did she or didn't she? Du Maurier built the story as a trap where the truth depends on whom you choose to believe, and the adaptation keeps that ambiguity intact. If you like costume thrillers that work through suspicion rather than action, this one rewards close attention. Stream My Cousin Rachel (2017) online on iFILM.
