Rachel Weisz – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · November 10, 2025

United States Drama

The Constant Gardener earned Rachel Weisz the Oscar for a performance of real moral urgency, and The Favourite, over a decade later, showed a sharper, funnier register. The Deep Blue Sea is restrained and devastating, About a Boy offers a warmer romantic role, Dead Ringers takes on a strange dual role, and The Bourne Legacy holds the franchise’s pivot together. Disobedience, The Lobster, My Cousin Rachel and The Mummy round out the list.
