The Talented Mr. Ripley is lovely wrapping without much to say.

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

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.

Full of murder and deceit; too violent for kids.

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.

The blend of Minghella's gloss and Damon's steel results in a psychological thriller of huge style and depth. A very good movie.

If anybody can create sympathy for the devil, the angelic Matt Damon can.

This is certainly no fast-paced nail-biting thriller, but much rather a slow-paced intriguing drama very reminiscent of Hitchcock films.

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.

Ripley morphs into a well-meaning kid who yearns to be somebody. He's deprived, not depraved.

A "10 Best" achievement, thanks to writer-director Anthony Minghella's acute interpretation of Patricia Highsmith's novel, a shooting style that wallows in decadence and danger, and a choice cast completely in sync with the stringent demands of the story.

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