Rachel's alternating "come-hither" and "don't-touch-me" personas increase the mystery of her motives. She's strong-minded and self-determined, willing to defy convention (at least privately) when it suits her. Her underlying passion and desire for independence belie the outward mask. Actress Rachel Weisz presents a "proper" feminine image - modest, self-effacing and gentile. In their society, women are usually financially dependent upon men. He doesn't know how to attain a mature relationship with this most desirable woman. His inexcusable violence stems from inability to control Rachel, as men of 19th century Britain are supposed to do. He's full of rage and jealousy, the antithesis of real love. But what mercy is there? Philip has a petulant, entitled nature. He's easy prey for a femme fatale, if that's what Rachel is. His unfamiliarity with women makes the swift obsession with Rachel more believable. Sam Claflin's Philip is younger and much less mature than Burton's characterization. A fan of the earlier black-and-white film, I was eager to see this recent effort. Still, they may already may know more about the adult themes here than we'd really like them to. Parents use caution with your young teens. This film is aimed at a literate audience. Language is mostly clean, but there is one "f-king," as well as a "s-t" and a "damn." A character smokes a pipe, and party and dinner guests drink liquor and wine one character gets drunk and sloppy while waiting for a picnic to start. A man is briefly visible naked from behind when he jumps into the water. After they're finished, she borrows his handkerchief and, turning away from the camera, raises her skirt to clean up.
A couple has sex on the ground with their clothes on the man thrusts and moans while the woman looks stoic. Another disturbing scene shows the aftermath of a woman and a horse falling off a cliff viewers see her dead and face-down, and while the horse is initially still moving, it's soon shot (off screen) and then lies still. There's a moment of sexual violence in which a man holds a woman's arms and demands "kiss me!" while she says forcefully to stop and let her go he briefly chokes her. It has more sex and violence than many movies set in similar eras. Parents need to know that My Cousin Rachel is a period drama based on a novel by Daphne du Maurier and starring Rachel Weisz. A character smokes a pipe in one scene dinner guests drink liquor, and party guests drink something out of brown jugs.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?
