I loved both adaptations. But must admit, Andrew Scott is incredible.

More people should check out Talented Mr. Ripley. It’s very underrated

Andrew Scott is so subtle and nuanced in his performance as Ripley. He needs such careful observation to understand him, a tiny flicker of a smile around one corner of his mouth tells the story.... he is such an amazing actor!

How come nobody is mentioning Plein Soleil with the AMAZING Alain Delon? That’s the best version.

I like both and Ripley is closer to the book, but I prefer The Talented Mr. Ripley. I think it is actually better then the book. Jude Law as Dickey is so charming. And Matt Damon’s version of Tom is somewhat sympathetic even though he is a psychopath. He gave more depth to the character. But both are very good movies.

I binged watched the whole thing. Absolutely amazing 👏

Matt Damon’s ripley had more emotion, I think. When he first kills dickie, he’s noticeably panicked and it’s this panic that makes him a ticking time bomb. This new ripley is more calm and sociopathic

I think Andrew Scott did a great job ❤

I'm into psychology and did a fair amount of reading on psychopathy, narcissism and stuff. For me Scott has managed to do the almost impossible: portraying a full blown psychopath to perfection. Basically every trait I've read about those callous, sneaky but quite charming monsters comes through in his acting. I enjoyed every minute of it. The Minghella version is a completely different thing, though I liked that one, too.

A Ripley fan for years, I finally 'got' the title character when I read Highsmith's journals which were recently released. The series is more consistent with her world view. During her NYC days in the fifties, she had endless relationships, some with very wealthy women, that ended badly. Money was a constant worry for her and she grew to resent the people she hung around. She left the States to escape its homophobic atmosphere. The first Ripley novel which she wrote right before she left reflected her own repressed self loathing, but needed a male protagonist, or it likely couldn't have been published. The Price of Salt, which explored the difficulties of female relationships in the USA and showed a more empathetic side of the author was published under a pseudonym. Once the movie adaptation, Carol, hit the screen the novel finally got mainstream notice. The series captures the self-loathing more accurately while the film which I also loved took a lot of liberties with the text, still both were beautifully shot and acted.

I hope the turn all books in the series into series, so much potential.

I am a huge fan of the movie. I read the novel and I prefered the movie! It's the only time this happened. I will watch the series, and let you know later.

Film is amazing. But I love Andrew Scott and he pretty much never misses.

Jude Law’s Dickie Greenleaf is my favorite. He is someone who can totally exist and make people feel and act in that passionate way around him.

Didn’t even remember they were making a series about the story. The 1999 movie is the best adaptation thanks to its charismatic cast with Matt Damon in the title part, Jude Law as Dickie, Philip Seymour Hoffman & even Gwyneth Paltrow is good as Marge. Plus the late great Anthony Minghella had the right cinematic eye for the movie

Haven't seen the movie so coming from a biased perspective, but the shot design and patience of the show allow so many interesting details to be present in the show, like the thrill of travel and communicating with locals. I can't imagine the movie can be so rich.

Matt Damon was never Ripley for me. No where near. And although the film version looked good it got over complicated near the end and lost its way. Ripley has the advantage of 8 episodes and Andrew Scott is mesmerising. Also - I love the cat!

The 2024 version was the only film that has been able to keep my absolute attention in a very long time. I very much enjoyed it!

Loved the Cat❤
