- TriviaJust as in the book and the previous movie adaptation, Rebecca (1940) by Alfred Hitchcock, the new Mrs De Winter is never given either a first name or maiden name, whilst the late Mrs De Winter is constantly referred to by hers.
- Goofs(at around 1h 35 mins) Jack Favell blackmails Maxim with a note allegedly containing an invitation from Rebecca to meet up on the night of her death. However, the note is undated, so there is nothing that links it to the events of that particular day.

The first half was good, but the second half is when everything started to fall apart for me.
Without revealing too much, in the second half, especially towards the end (like the last half hour), the dialogue turned awkward & inconsistent. The events including significant revelations were RUSHED so much that there was no build up to them nor enough time to let them sink in before moving on to the next scene. The reactions to some news or events within the plot were dull & lacked sincerity and passion.
The editing for those scenes didn't help either. It just kept jumping too fast to the next scene or cut to a different frame in a different location in the middle of a revealing conversation. That's when they lost me. The emotional connection I wanted to feel for the characters kept being interrupted.
Though I still kept an open mind and was hoping I'll be pleasantly surprised that I'll love this movie by the end of it, but unfortunately, it just kept going the same kind of direction till the movie was over.
I've been looking forward to this, and even with my expectations being reasonable and not too high, I still didn't get what I wanted.
And just to be clear, I'm not comparing this to Hitchcock's version. In fact, I've never even seen it. So this is solely based on the execution of the story in this specific movie. It simply didn't do it for me.
