Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Even before its release, The Talented Mr. Ripley has attracted some mighty serious analytic attention.

fresh:
It's a gorgeously unsettling film. You can hide in the shadows, but luminescence exposes who you are, and the only escape is into another identity.
– Peter Rainer,

fresh:
Not only is it an elegantly polished affair, with top notch performances all round, and magnificent camerawork and editing, it's also acutely aware of how class, money and sex shape desire and resentment.

On balance, The Talented Mr. Ripley is worth seeing more for its undeniably delightful journey than its final destination.
– Andrew Sarris,

rotten:
Familiarity is the watchword of this overblown opus, which neglects holes in the plot to play up its postmodern theme of identity as pastiche -- a clear case of the pot calling the kettle black.
