The actor could have easily been type-cast in this “handsome rogue” role that solidified his fame in The Hunger Games but he has chosen a variant of directors and roles, differing from the usual. The growing talent of Sam Claflin has been a phenomenal one indeed. Upon news of his death, Phillip grows suspicious of Rachel’s intentions and involvement, vowing to exact revenge. There, however, Ambrose is drawn to a woman named Rachel and they hastily marry, much to the chagrin of Phillip. When Ambrose falls ill, he holidays in Florence to improve upon his health. If we can follow the likes of Travis Bickle and the abundance of male dickheads on the screen, we can allow ourselves well-written but unlikable female characters.Īdded to the ranks of Miss Sloane, and more brilliantly Elle, is My Cousin Rachel, starring a lead character with mysterious intentions and depth.ĭirected and written by Roger Michell, based on a book by the terrific Daphne Du Maurier the film revolves around the stubborn farmer Phillip who has been raised by his cousin Ambrose since he was orphaned as a child. This has been proven with the onslaught of criticism squared at Miss Sloane as many didn’t like her icy exterior and focused ways. For cinema watching, we have much higher standards for women to be good people, immediately equating well-written female characters with niceness. For a long while we (myself included) have never given our female characters the same weight as the men. This is certainly the year of cool, calm, and calculated women – and that’s outside of politics, thank you very much.
