The Talented Mr. Ripley

A resourceful young man is hired to travel to Italy and persuade a wealthy playboy to return home. Drawn into the playboy’s privileged circle, he finds himself longing for their life of leisure, and his attempts to fit in lead to an increasingly tense web of deception.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like character-driven thrillers, layered deception, and an atmospheric Italian setting; Not for you if you need a fast-paced story or prefer lighter, less unsettling viewing.
