UNTIL, she arrives at the Ashley estate and Philip does a complete about turn and falls in love with her immediately. Philip believes these wholeheartedly, and when Ambrose dies, he immediately points the finger at Rachel. Soon, Philip starts to receive disturbing letters from Ambrose, saying that Rachel is tormenting him, poisoning him, trying to kill him etc, etc. Whilst there, he meets, falls in love with, and marries Rachel, another cousin. As Philip grows older, Ambrose grows iller, and is sent by his doctors to live in Florence. But, I did come out of the cinema with more than a few thoughts to make sense of.īriefly summed up, My Cousin Rachel revolves around an orphaned boy, Philip who’s adopted by his cousin Ambrose, and for added confusion, these two look exactly alike. Let me start this review by saying that I haven’t read Daphne du Maurier’s My Cousin Rachel, so I have no point of comparison between the book and the movie – as a bookworm at heart this disturbs me, to say the least.
