The Talented Mr Ripley isn’t the world’s best movie, but it really isn’t bad either. Matt Damon and Jude Law do a great job, and I’m beginning to become a fan of Gwynneth Paltrow. Who knew it was possible to get over her behavior at the Academy Awards? But again and again I see her do a really nice job – in this film, and in Proof (I’m sure there are others, but these are the ones I’ve seen recently).
