Review of Eileen: According to BRIAN VINER, this film has more than a hint of Hitchcock and Highsmith

BRIAN VINER: Some names are more popular than others. Eileen, despite the best efforts of Dexy's Midnight Runners all those years ago, and despite the formidable Dame Eileen Atkins' defiance, reveals (if only to me) modesty, mistrust, and anonymity. Rebecca is not the same as Rebecca. The name has a mystery, danger, and glamour, which may have something to do with Alfred Hitchcock's 1940 film of the same name, which was based so faithfully from Daphne du Maurier's novel. On any rate, Eileen, the eponymous protagonist in William Oldroyd's tightly planned psychological thriller, is a put-upon, dowdy, rather repressed young woman. Thomasin McKenzie is a superb performer. She lives with her emotionally abused father and works in a local juvenile detention center, where they are routinely patronized by her older colleagues. However, Eileen's life and its possibilities are transformed on the day she meets Rebecca (Anne Hathaway), the institution's new psychologist. Rebecca follows sexual pleasure from the moment she steps out of her shiny, red sports car, sporting her perforated locks like Marilyn Monroe.
