re: Ripley Netflix

I was excited about this until I realized it was a remake. I thought it was going to follow one of the other Ripley books.

I thought the first episode was slow and boring.

Talented Mr. Ripley was a great movie. Awesome cinematography. Great acting by all three of the main characters.

Just finished it tonight. It’s done Film Noir style, and all Black and White, except one small scene. Which turns out to be insignificant which is disappointing. It is aggravatingly slow and drags out WAY too long over 8 episodes. Lead character Ripley does a decent job but gets to be annoying. At some points it seems like a comedy. Dakota Fanning is good. Stings adult child is in it. John Malcovich makes cameo in the last episode. I recall liking the movie from years ago, but not so much for this remake. Disappointing overall.

I finished this last night. It was entertaining. It ended where a season 2 could be done but it was advertised as a limited series.

Just found this over the weekend and finished it. It's probably my favorite thing I've watched this year, loved it. The only distracting part was Sting's "non-binary" offspring in it. Every time she was in a scene it snapped me out of the moment.

Other than that, it was fantastic. Andrew Scott was great, and so was the Italian actor that played the detective. The style it was shot in is very cinematic, and I found myself paying super close attention in the later episodes to try and pick up clues. It was very, very well done, would highly recommend.

For fans of the story: Watch "Purple Noon" the 1960 film with Alain Delon. It is very good.

Thanks will check it out
