The Talented Mr Ripley in period costume

Rating: 6/10 (12 January 2019)

Contrary a lot of reviews here, I found this film strangely familiar. At the end, which - also contrary to a lot of reviews here I found to be perfectly satisfactory - I realised I had the same feeling I had at the end of The Talented Mr Ripley and indeed I felt like I'd just watched pretty much the same story with the same feel at the same moments, with the same kind of sour after-taste. Finally, also contrary to a lot of reviews here, did not find this film particularly "weird"; it seemed merely to set out to shock on occasion, but within its own parameters. Have none of these reviewers ever seen a movie by David Lynch or Darren Aronofsky? Kudos to the costumes and acting though, particularly Olivia Colman.
